Understanding fluorine-free electrolytes via small-angle X-ray scattering

Fluorine-free electrolytes have attracted great attention because of its low-cost and environmental friendliness. However, so far, little is known about the solution structures of these electrolytes. Here,we compare the solvation phenomenon of sodium tetraphenylborate(NaBPh_(4)) salt dissolved in organic solvents of propylene carbonate(PC), 1,2-dimethoxyethane(DME), acetonitrile(ACN) and tetrahydrofuran(THF). Small-angle X-ray scattering(SAXS) reveals a unique two-peak structural feature in this saltconcentrated PC electrolyte, while solutions using other solvents only have one scattering peak.Molecular dynamics(MD) simulations further reveal that there are anion-based clusters in addition to the short-range charge ordering in the concentrated NaBPh4/PC electrolyte. Raman spectroscopy confirms the existence of considerable contact ion pairs(CIPs). This work emphasizes the importance of global and local structural analysis, which will provide valuable clues for understanding the structureperformance relationship of electrolytes.

Standard Gibbs Energies of Transfer for KBPh_4 from Water to Water+PrOH and Water+TBA Mixtures and the Primary Medium Effects

The standard Gibbs energies of transfer (Δ tr G 0) for potassium tetraphenylborate (KBPh 4) have been studied in the systems of water and water +1 propanol (PrOH) as well as water and water + t butyl alcohol (TBA) at 298.15?K. The results show that -Δ tr G 0 exhibits a complicated changing pattern with the mole fraction of TBA( x (TBA)) or PrOH ( x (PrOH)), and Δ tr G 0 has the a maximum value at x (TBA) = 0.2 or x (PrOH)=0.2. Especially, -Δ tr G 0 of KBPh 4 changes unusually with increasing x (TBA) when x (TBA) < 0.05. The reasons for these changes were analyzed and discussed.

Thermodynamic Properties of Transfer for Tetraphenylarsonium Tetraphylborate from Water to n-Alkanols

The standard transfer Gibbs energy ( Δ tr G 0 w→s ) and entropy ( Δ tr S 0 w→s ) of Ph 4AsBPh 4 from water to the n alkanols at temerature from 293.2 K to 308.2 K have been obtained. Furthermore, the contribution of microscopic interaction to the standard Gibbs energy of transfer for Ph 4AsBPh 4 was calculated and discussed. The results show that the effect of hydrophobic interaction of Ph 4AsBPh 4 on its transfer process is the most important factor. According to the thermodynamical principle, the transfer process of Ph 4AsBPh 4 from water to the n alkanols is the entropy dominanted.
