Abstracts

EN

Some important properties of the electrolytes used in Li-air batteries were investigated. Electrolyte composed of a solution of 1 M LiPF₆ in tetra ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) was reinforced with SiO₂, Al₂O₃, poly(ethylene) oxide (PEO) and tris (pentafluorophenyl) borane (TPFPB) additives. The effects of these reinforcements on conductivity, viscosity and thermal stability were investigated. Electrical conductivity tests were carried out using a multiparameter meter. Viscosity tests were performed in a viscometer using tuning-fork vibration method. Thermal stability of the electrolytes was tested by both TG and DSC.
