Effect of cation side-chain structure on the physicochemical properties of pyrrolidinium-based electrolytes upon mixing with sodium salt.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, the development of next-generation secondary batteries employing resource-abundant metals such as Na has garnered significant attention. However, the high reactivity of Na raises safety concerns, necessitating the development of safer devices. To address this, ionic liquids (ILs) and organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) have emerged as promising novel electrolytes. Despite their potential, studies investigating the influence of cation structures on various properties remain scarce, particularly in composites where Na salts are introduced into OIPCs. This study focuses on the effects of cation species and Na-salt concentration in OIPCs, specifically in N,N-diethylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide ([C₂epyr][FSA]) and N-ethyl-N-isopropyl
