Understanding the behavior of ions in electrolytes is essential in many areas of science and engineering. For instance, better electrolytes are likely to contribute to the development of longer lasting batteries with higher energy densities. In this poster we will present our recent experimental work on model electrolytes for lithium batteries. In particular, we have measured the activity, molar conductivity, and diffusion constants for lithium perchlorate and lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide (TFSI) in propylene carbonate, acetonitrile, and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether to better understand what role lithium salt concentration, anion identity (ClO4- vs TFSI), and solvent play in the behavior lithium battery electrolytes.
