Abstract
Classical electrochemical and microscopy methods were used to characterize the interfacial processes of the adsorption of chloride ions from ionic liquids at the Bi(111) single crystal electrode. The mixture of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride was electrochemically characterized by using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In situ scanning tunneling microscopy images showed the formation of superstructures at the electrode's surface over an extended period of time. The specific adsorption of chloride ions reaches an equilibrium state in a more viscous ionic liquid medium slower than in aqueous and organic solvents. Capacitance values increase considerably (also depending on alternative current frequency) at the potential region, where the specific adsorption of chloride ions with partial charge transfer occurs.

CHEMSUSCHEM 2023; 16:e202300421. [PMID: 37338003 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202300421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
A trace amount of water is typically unavoidable as an impurity in ionic liquids, which is a huge challenge for their application in Mg-ion batteries. Here, we employed molecular sieves of different pore diameters (3, 4, and 5 Å), to effectively remove the trace amounts of water from 1-methyl-1-propylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (MPPip-TFSI) and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMP-TFSI). Notably, after sieving (water content <1 mg ⋅ L-1 ), new anodic peaks arise that are attributed to the formation of different anion-cation structures induced by minimizing the influence of hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) reveals that the electrolyte resistance decreases by ∼10 % for MPPip-TFSI and by ∼28 % for BMP-TFSI after sieving. The electrochemical Mg deposition/dissolution is investigated in MPPip-TFSI/tetraglyme (1 : 1)+100 mM Mg(TFSI)2 +10 mM Mg(BH4 )2 using Ag/AgCl and Mg reference electrodes. The presence of a trace amount of water leads to a considerable shift of 0.9 V vs. Mg2+/ Mg in the overpotential of Mg deposition. In contrast, drying of MPPip-TFSI enhances the reversibility of Mg deposition/dissolution and suppresses the passivation of the Mg electrode.

Abstract
AbstractThe electrochemistry nowadays has many faces and challenges. Although the focus has shifted from fundamental electrochemistry to applied electrochemistry, one needs to acknowledge that it is impossible to develop and design novel green energy transition devices without a comprehensive understanding of the electrochemical processes at the electrode and electrolyte interface that define the performance mechanisms. The review gives an overview of the systematic research in the field of electrochemistry in Estonia which reflects on the excellent collaboration between fundamental and applied electrochemistry.

Abstract
Electrochemical measurements including impedance spectroscopy and in situ scanning tunneling microscopy were performed to study the interface between solid electrodes and ionic liquids. We could reveal that the double layer rearrangement processes are not instantaneous, but that the ions can form ordered clusters at the interface.
