Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to ionic liquids comprising, as cation, a specific phosphonium cation, as anion, a formate anion, which can be used, alone or as a mixture, to constitute electrolytes for energy storage devices.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An ionic liquid, comprising: as cation, a phosphonium cation; and as anion, a formate anion, wherein: the phosphonium cation satisfies the following generic formula:  and R 1 , R 2 and R 3 represent an identical alkyl group and R 4 represents a hydrogen atom, wherein said alkyl group comprises from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. 2. The ionic liquid according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 represent a tert-butyl group. 3. A composition, comprising: the ionic liquid of claim 1 ; and at least one additive selected from the group consisting of water, an organic solvent, an organic acid and a mixture thereof. 4. The composition according to claim 3 , comprising an aprotic polar solvent as the organic solvent. 5. The composition according to claim 3 , comprising the organic solvent which is selected from the group consisting of a nitrile solvent, a carbonate solvent and a lactone solvent. 6. The composition of claim 3 , comprising acetonitrile as the organic solvent. 7. The composition of claim 3 , comprising a carboxylic acid as the organic acid. 8. The composition according to claim 7 , wherein the carboxylic acid is formic acid. 9. The composition of claim 3 , which is an electrolyte. 10. An energy storage device, comprising at least one cell comprising a positive electrode and a negative electrode separated from each other by a separator comprising, as electrolyte, the ionic liquid of claim 1 . 11. The energy storage device according to claim 10 , which is a supercapacitor. 12. An energy storage device, comprising at least one cell comprising a positive electrode and a negative electrode separated from each other by a separator comprising, as electrolyte, the composition of claim 3 . 13. The energy storage device according to claim 12 , which is a supercapacitor.
