Abstract:
Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of anions have attracted much attention as a positive electrode for use in dual-ion batteries. In this study, GICs of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (TFSA) anions were electrochemically synthesized in ionic liquids with lithium or magnesium salts to investigate the kinetics of GICs formation. By varying the concentrations of LiTFSA or Mg(TFSA)2 , the activation energy of interfacial anion transfer resistance was discovered to be correlated with the viscosity of the ionic liquid electrolytes. Such a change in activation energy is unique to ionic liquids and not seen in common molecular solvent electrolytes. In addition, ionic liquids with nearly identical viscosities exhibited similar resistances and activation energies. The relationship between the viscosity of ionic liquids and the kinetic parameters of interfacial anion transfer found in this study provides important insights for the construction of dual-ion batteries that aim for both high capacity and high rate capability.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
