The world needs more power, preferably in a form that’s clean and renewable. Battery technologies are an essential catalyst to unlock the growth and advances in sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs), electronic devices and battery storage for renewable energy. Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is a stable molecule capable of undergoing multiple one electron reversible redox transformation. This molecule has distinct electrochemical properties and it exhibits the possibility for multiple substituent modification.TTF based imidazolium salts are expected to behave as excellent electrolytes, having the properties of a redox active mediator and an ionic liquid. TTF plays a major role in batteries to overcome limitations such as reaction kinetics and energy density, which eventually help to achieve better results. In this project, we will explore synthesis of TTF based imidazolium salts and its application towards redox flow batteries.
