Core Technologies:
Our core technologies revolve around organosilicon electrolytes and their interfaces with nanostructured materials of interest for applications in electrochemical energy storage, such as ultracapacitors and lithium-ion batteries.
Why organosilicon electrolytes?
Organosilicon electrolytes have a number of important properties that make them especially attractive for emerging energy storage applications:
| High conductivity | When doped with suitable salts, organosilicon compounds can show high conductivity, >2 mS/cm. We have also developed silicon-based ionic liquids that can be used alone or in conjunction with other organosilicon compounds. |
| Low viscosity | Organosilicon compounds have low viscosity, similar to that of water. This makes is simple to wet even high-porosity materials. |
| Low vapor pressure | Organsilicon compounds have low vapor pressure. |
| Low flammability | One of the biggest advantages of our organosilicon compounds is their very low flammability. |
| Low toxicity | Organosilicon compounds have low toxicity. |
