摘要
The oxygen reduction reaction in an ionic liquid (IL) consisting of N, N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl) ammonium(DEME) cation and the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (TFSI) anion was investigated in the anhydrous and water saturated conditions respectively. The IL was demonstrated to be stable in the operating range of a lithium air cell in both the anhydrous and water saturated conditions. The addition of water was found to lower the overpotential for the oxygen reduction reaction by 40 mV. Finally, the reaction rate constant was found to increase by an order of magnitude with the addition of water hence demonstrating the tendency of water to promote/catalyze the oxygen electrochemistry in non-aqueous systems.
