Ionic liquids exhibit a unique combination of physicochemical properties that make them ideal candidates for electrolyte applications:

 

• high electrochemical stability
• broad liquid range
• high conductivity
• compatible with electrode materials
• neither flammable nor volatile

Most astonishing results have been shown in applications such as super-capacitors, Li-ion batteries, dye sensitized solar cells, sensor materials and metal plating processes.

An increasing demand for high-purity ionic liquids especially in the electronic and automotive industry induced the upscaling and REACH registration of EMIM-TFSI (REACH registration expected shortly, up to 10 t/a) as well as EMIM-BF4 (REACH registration number: 01-2120086816-43-0000, up to 10 t/a). Both substances are available on a ton-scale basis in unique quality.
