Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods for preparing electrolyte salts for alkaline earth metal-ion batteries (e.g., calcium and magnesium ion batteries) are described. The electrolyte salts comprise alkaline earth metal (e.g., Mg or Ca) salts of bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI) and 3,4-dicyano-2-trifluoromethylimidazole (TDI). The methods comprise contacting FSI or TDI with an alkaline earth metal bis(trifluoroacetate) salt in trifluoroacetic acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. A method for preparing an alkaline earth metal salt of bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI) useful as an electrolyte salt for an alkaline earth metal-ion battery, the method comprising: contacting FSI with a solution containing at least 0.5 molar equivalents of an alkaline earth metal bis-trifluoroacetate salt of the formula (CF 3 CO 2 ) 2 M, dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid to form an FSI salt of formula: wherein M is an alkaline earth metal; and recovering the FSI salt. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein M is Mg. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein M is Ca. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein FSI is contacted with about 0.45 to about 0.75 molar equivalents of the salt of the formula (CF 3 CO 2 ) 2 M. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein M is Mg. 6. The method of claim 4 , wherein M is Ca. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein salt of the formula (CF 3 CO 2 ) 2 M, is dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid at a concentration in the range of about 0.05 to about 2 molar. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein M is Mg. 9. The method of claim 7 , wherein M is Ca. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of recovering the FSI salt comprises filtration or evaporation of trifluoroacetic acid solvent.
