摘 要:Two series of room temperature ionic liquids, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 1-alkyl- 3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (n = 2―4) as electrolytes were prepared and fundamental elec-trochemical properties of the neat ionic liquids and those mixed with an organic solvent (EC-DMC-DEC, 1:1:1, mass ratio) were investigated. It was found that the Arrhenius equation is approximately fit for the relationship between conductivity and temperature for neat ionic liquids within lower temperature range (298―323 K). The VTF interpreta-tion describes the conductivity temperature dependence for the ionic liquids containing tetrafluoroborate anion more accurately than those containing bis(trifluoromethylsulfon- yl)imide anion within wider temperature range. The poten-tial windows are approximately 4.0 V for all these ionic liq-uids. Conductivities of the mixed electrolytes show a maxi-mum value as the solution concentrations increase.
