Boiling point, liquid electrolytes

This polymer membrane normally consists of an ion exchange polymer or a composite made from a chemically and thermally stable polymer containing an ion conducting liquid having a high boiling point. Polymer electrolyte membranes are made from the following classes of polymers.

Water-free inorganic solvents, such as ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and hydrazine, have been tested in terms of their suitability for electrolytic metal deposition. Liquid ammonia is used for a series of electrolytic metal deposition processes. Besides the low boiling point (- 33 °C) of this solvent its toxicity is disadvantageous. It has been reported that group lA and IIA metals, such as hthium, sodium, magnesium, and beryllium can be deposited from solutions based on ammonia as a solvent [45]. However, only thin or incoherent layers are thus produced [43, 44]. Because it is possible to form anions of molybdenum, lead, selenium, and tellmium in anunonia, these elements can be anodically deposited. Thus, deposition of the semiconductor lead selenide has also been achieved with ammonia as a solvent. 

Activity coefficients may be applied to different processes. In one application, the activity coefficient is a measure of the escaping tendency from liquid to another liquid or a gaseous phase (in the liquid to gas phase they can be quantified using Henry s Law coefficient). These activity coefficients are derived from distillation data at temperatures near the boiling point or from liquid-liquid extraction calculations. In another application as defined by Hildebrand and Scratchard solvent activity to dissolve a non-electrolyte solute is given by equation ... 

An ideal electrolyte solvent for Li-ion cells shall meet the following minimal criteria, namely, high dielectric constant, to be able to dissolve salts of sufficient concentration, lower viscosity for facile ion transport, inert to all cell components, especially the charged surfaces of the electrodes, lower melting point, and higher boiling point to remain liquid in a wide temperature range. 

In cells operated at temperatures below 100 °C, liquid water will be the reaction product. For operation temperatures above the boiling point of water, a cell with an aqueous or quasi-aqueous electrolyte can be operated, however, at the expense of pressurizing it to avoid loss of the water and, as a consequence, concentratiOTi and conductivity changes in the electrolyte.
