V.D.8 Sulfones with Additives as Electrolytes (ASU)<br />

Angell – ASU<br />

Figure V - 172: Li deposition and stripping at a graphite anode<br />

sulfolane:MFS as solvent<br />

2. Nanoporous nets as electrolyte supports. After<br />

months <strong>of</strong> frustrating effort trying to produce reversible H-<br />

bonded models <strong>of</strong> the open nets we had conceived for this<br />

projects’ electrolyte support, we changed course to tackle<br />

directly the covalent net versions that were expected to be<br />

irreversible. We have immediately been rewarded with<br />

success. The flexible solid film seen in Figure V - 174a is a<br />

new product for which we show XRD patterns and their<br />

conversion to real space distributions in Figure V - 174b.<br />

These establish that an open network with ~15-20Å pores<br />

has been obtained. We have successfully prepared a<br />

second version using struts 3 times as long, which are <strong>of</strong><br />

extremely low density, and should support both solution<br />

and ionic liquid electrolytes up to 200ºC.<br />

continuous film structure<br />

Future work<br />

Nets and their liquid-filled properties will be<br />

explored.<br />
