Abstract

In this paper is reported an extensive NMR characterization of N-methyl-N-propyl-pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PYR13TFSI) room-temperature ionic liquid and its mixtures with LiTFSI. NMR was used to investigate the interactions between the ionic liquid and lithium salt and the diffusion coefficients of all ionic species present in these mixtures. The results are compared with previous DSC, Raman, and electrochemical investigations.
