New pyrrolidinium-cation-based protic acid ionic liquids (PILs) were prepared through a simple and atom-economic neutralization reactions between pyrrolidine and Brønsted acids, HX, where X is NO 3 (-), HSO 4 (-), HCOO (-), CH 3COO (-) or CF 3COO (-) and CH 3(CH 2) 6COO (-). The thermal properties, densities, electrochemical windows, temperature dependency of dynamic viscosity and ionic conductivity were measured for these PILs. All protonated pyrrolidinium salts studied here were liquid at room temperature and possess a high ionic conductivity (up to 56 mS cm (-1)) at room temperature. Pyrrolidinium based PILs have a relatively low cost, a low toxicity and exhibit a large electrochemical window as compared to other protic ionic liquids (up 3 V). Obtained results allow us to classify them according to a classical Walden diagram and to determinate their "Fragility". Pyrrolidinium based PILs are good or superionic liquids and shows extremely fragility. They have wide applicable perspectives for fuel cell devices, thermal transfer fluids, and acid-catalyzed reaction media as replacements of conventional inorganic acids.

Concentrated electrolytes based on lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) have been proposed as an effective Li-compatible electrolyte for anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs). However, these electrolytes suffer from severe aluminum corrosion at an elevated potential. To address this issue, we propose a binary ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte additive comprising the 1-methyl-1-butyl pyrrolidinium cation (Pyr), difluoro(oxalate)borate anion (DFOB), and difluorophosphate (POF) anion to mitigate the Li inventory loss and Al corrosion in 4 M LiFSI/DME electrolyte simultaneously.

Improving the crystallinity of formamidinium triiodide (FAPbI) perovskite layer is one of the most effective approaches to increase the photovoltaic performance and stability of FAPbI-based solar cells (FSCs). In the current study, FAPbI layers were fabricated through a sequential deposition method. The morphology and crystalline properties of the FAPbI layers were modified by controlling the lead iodide (PbI) precursor by adding pyrrolidinium (Pyr) material into the PbI layer and modulating the FAPbI crystallization.

Highly Li-concentrated electrolytes are acknowledged for their compatibility with Li metal negative electrodes and high voltage positive electrodes to achieve high-energy Li metal batteries, showcasing stable and facile interfaces for Li deposition/dissolution and high anodic stability. This study aims to explore a highly concentrated electrolyte by adopting entropy-driven chemistry for Li metal-free (so-called anode-free) batteries. The combination of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide (LiFSA) and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiOTf) salts in a pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid is found to significantly modify the coordination structure, resulting in an unprecedented 60 mol% Li concentration and a low solvent-to-salt ratio of 0.
