Electrolytes Based on Aprotic Solvents

3 4 Electrolytes Based on Aprotic Solvents Aprotic electrolytes are usually 

Aprotic electrolytes of an adequate high conductivity are necessary for lithium batteries and super capacitors. Therefore, recently, much industrial research has been done in this area and highly sophisticated electrolyte systems have been developed (e.g. [64]). The supporting electrolytes for aprotic solvents generally are more or less expensive and toxic. After the reaction, their separation and recycling is inevitable and frequently needs considerable efforts. 

The application of aprotic electrolytes usually requires that water traces are carefully removed and therefore needs much effort for purification steps in an inert gas atmosphere. It has to be
