I was wondering if the fabrication of lithium ion batteries based on water-in salt electrolyte could be performed in the ambient atmosphere. Can anybody help me with this?
Dear Debjyoti Banerjee ,
It is not clear what kind of water-in salt electrolyte based Li-ion batteries. Are you use organic electrolyte for Li with LiSICON membrane and water electrolyte for positive electrode, or purely based water electrolyte?
Although water-in-salt electrolytes have conductivities in the range of ionic liquids, in my opinion it would not be a good idea to introduce them into a glove-box since they still have free water molecules ( H2O/Li+ > 2).....increase in O2 and H2O content of the glove-box.
Of course you do not need to use glove-box for saturated saline electrolytes. I performed all such experiments conditions and obtained alike behavior as in nonaqueous/glove experiments.
