Boulder Ionics’ primary focus is on cost-effective production of high-performance ionic-liquid electrolytes on an industrial scale. Our product line is divided into three product families:
- The Iolyte™-P family consists of pure ionic liquids for customers who will formulate their own electrolytes or who use the ionic liquid for non-electrolyte applications.
- The Iolyte-B family consists of electrolytes optimized for use in battery applications.
- The Iolyte-U family contains electrolytes optimized for use in ultracapacitors.
Iolyte-P pure ionic liquids
Iolyte-P1 (EMIM TFSI) is a high-purity ionic liquid suitable for a wide range of applications in energy storage, chemistry and industrial processes. Iolyte-P1 is an ultra-high-purity grade of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (CAS #174899-82-2) produced by a proprietary synthetic route that yields low impurity content, with particularly low halide and water content. Exhibiting low viscosity, high conductivity and a wide electrochemical window, Iolyte-P1 is among the leading candidates for batteries using metal anodes and for ultracapacitors. It is not the best choice for lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes (see Iolyte-P2 or Iolyte-B1 for this application). See the Iolyte-P1 data sheet and MSDS for additional details, including physical properties and specification.
Iolyte-P2 (EMIM FSI) is a high-purity ionic liquid optimized for battery applications. Iolyte-P2 is a ultra-high-purity grade of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (CAS #235789-75-0) produced by a proprietary synthetic route that yields low impurity content, with particularly low halide and water content. Exhibiting low viscosity, high conductivity and wide electrochemical windows, Iolyte-P2 is an excellent candidate for lithium-ion batteries and hybrid battery-capacitor devices using lithium-ion type cathodes. See the Iolyte-P2 data sheet and MSDS for additional details, including physical properties and specification.
Iolyte-B ionic-liquid-based electrolytes for battery applications
Iolyte-B1 (EMIM FSI + proprietary additives) is currently under development. Please contact us at sales@boulderionics.com if you would like to create a custom Iolyte electrolyte for use in lithium-ion battery applications.
Iolyte-U ionic-liquid-based electrolytes for ultracapacitor applications
Boulder Ionics is developing Iolyte-U1 (EMIM TFSI + proprietary additives) ionic-liquid-based electrolyte optimized for use in ultracapacitors. Please contact us at sales@boulderionics.com if you would like to create a custom Iolyte electrolyte for use in your EDLC application.
See our Custom Applications page for information on how Boulder Ionics works with customers to develop and optimize ionic liquids for these and other applications.
