ABSTRACT

The conductivities of lithium and quaternary ammonium salts have been measured in propylene carbonate and ~-bu- tyrolactone at 25~ over the concentration range of I0 2 to i0 3 mol dm -3. The limiting molar conductivities and the ionic association constants were calculated by the expanded Fuoss-Hsia equation. The mobility of anions in both solvents decreased in the following order: BF4 > CIO~ > PF~ > AsF~ > CF3SO3 > (CF3SO~)2N- > C4F9SO~ > BPh~. The association constants increased in the following order: Li(CF3SQ)~N, LiAsF6 < LiPF6 < LiCIO~ < LiBF4 < LiC4FgSQ < LiCF3SQ, while those of the corresponding tetraethylammonium salts were leveled by electrostatic shielding effect of alkyl groups. These results were correlated with ionic radii obtained by MM2 calculation.

Propylene carbonate (PC) and ~-butyrolaetone (GBL) are important dipolar aprotic solvents used for nonaqueous electrolytes I-4 in high energy lithium batteries, 5 aluminum electrolytic capacitors, 6-8 and electrical double-layer ca- pacitors. 9'~~ There have been numerous studies regarding the conductivity of nonaqueous electrolytes containing these solvents at high concentrations 11-19 and the eonducto- metric analysis in the dilute range was also performed in order to gain a better understanding about the solvent- solute interactions (20 to 35 for PC; 20, 28, 29, 31, 36 to 38 for GBL).

LiC104 has long been used as an electrolyte salt in lithium batteries, however, its undesirable safety characteristic requests a more stable and safer salt. 19'a9 Although lithium salts having a strong electron-withdrawing anion such as LiBF~, LiPF6, LiAsF~, LiCF3SO3, Li(CF3SQ)~N, and LiC~FgSO3 are commercially used in lithium batteries, the conductometric studies on these salts in dipolar aprotic solvents are very scarce compared with those of LiCIO4.

Since the conductometric parameters in pure solvents are important information for investigating the practical binary or ternary mixed solvent systems, a systematic study on the transport properties of these lithium salts in pure solvents is desirable. This kind of basic research has been carried out especially for propylene carbonate by sev- eral groups, however, a perusal of the literature shows re- markable deviations in the data.

The author has carried out a systematic conductometric analysis on these lithium salts in propylene carbonate and ~-butyrolactone in order to compare the mobility and ionic association tendency of each anion. The corresponding quaternary ammonium salts having the same anions, which are also important solutes for nonaqueous electrolytes in electrical double-layer capacitors, were also examined in both solvents for obtaining a more consistent set of the single-ion limiting molar conductivities and for comparing the difference between R4N + and Li + in the association con- stants with each anion.

In spite of the fact that the radii of ions and solvents are very important information for interpreting the obtained parameters such as single-ion limiting molar conductivity and association constant, different values have been adopted by the several authors. It seems that incorrect or inconsistent data have been used without precaution. The author has systematically calculated the radii of ions and solvents by using the molecular models constructed from both the crystallographic data and computer-aided molec- ular dynamics.

The mobility and ionic association of each anion were discussed from this consistent set of ionic radii.

listed in Table VII. The traditional values given by Robinson and Stokes ~ are systematically larger than our values, because they considered the distance from the cen- ter of N atom, along the line of the C-C bond, to the surface of H atom.

The obtained ionic radii of CIO$ and BF~ agreed well with thermoehemical radii. 6~ It is evident that ionic radii of PF~ 66 and AsF~ ~7 are overestimated and those of CF3SO~ 31 and (CF3SO2)2N- 3~ are wrong.

Although the most frequently used ionic radius of LF is 0.060 nm, 68 it was estimated to be 0.076 nm by averaging the effective ionic radii for different coordination numbers presented by ShannonP 9

Applicability of Stokes Iaw.--Stokes showed t h a t the force f ac t ing on a spher ica l par t ic le of rad ius r moving wi th un i fo rm veloci ty of v in a con t inuous f luid of viscosi ty ~ is given by the equa t ion ~

f = 4~r~rv + 2 ~ r v = x ~ r v [9]

ucts k0~ of each ion are plotted against the reciprocal of ionic radii r in Fig. 2.

The theoretical behavior calculated from Stokes law in Eq. 9 is given by the bottom line for perfect stick (x = 6) and by the top line for perfect slip (x = 4). All ions except Li § MeaN § Bu4N § and BPh$ approached the behavior for per- fect slip and average factor was 4.3. This result suggests that ionic mobilities of the most ions discussed here are determined only by ion size. A slightly higher factor for Mean § (x = 4.7) indicates the existence of weak solvationJ 9 Higher factors for Bu4N § (x = 5.0) and BPh~ (x = 5.7) are well understood, since larger ions approach the behavior for perfect stick. I

Assuming the correction factor for solvated Li § is 5.7, the solvation number N~ was estimated by the following equation I

N~ = 4~(r~ - r~)t3V [10]

where rs, ro, and V are S tokes r ad ius of so lva ted Li*, crys ta l - lographic rad ius of LF and the molecu la r vo lume of sol- vent, respectively. The solvat ion n u m b e r s were 3.2 for PC and 2.3 for GBL.

Applicability of Bjerrum theory.--Within the f r a m e w o r k of Jus t ice ' s t r e a t m e n t (R = q), the assoc ia t ion c o n s t an t is s t r ic t ly def ined for e lec t ros ta t ic in te rac t ions by the Bier- rum equa t ion 3

KB = 4~rNA f : exp (e2/erkTR)R2dR [11]

where NA is Avogadro number , d r epresen t s the con tac t d is- t ance for two spher ica l ions, and q is some cr i t ical d i s t ance at wh ich ion pa i r ing no longer is r ega rded to exist . For a con tac t ion pa i r & is s imply the sum of the ionic rad i i (r§ + r_) and for a s o l v e n t - s e p a r a t e d ion pa i r d is the sum of the ionic radi i and the d i a me t e r of the solvent (r. + r + 2r~).

Theoret ica l assoc ia t ion cons tan t s KB were ca lcu la ted f rom Eq. 11 us ing the contac t d i s t ance ~. The resul ts are given in Table VIII, w h e r e the ra t ios of the theore t ica l assoc ia t ion cons tan t to the observed one are given. All ob- served assoc ia t ion cons tan t s in PC were la rger t h a n calcu- la ted ones, wh ich indica tes con tac t ion pa i r s are fo rmed in PC. On the other hand, LiCIO4, IAPF6, LiAsF6, and Li(CF3SQ)2N in GBL showed smaller association con- stants. Salomon et al. have obtained similar results, and they concluded that alkali metal salts form solvent-sepa- rated ion pairs in GBL, even though they used a too small diameter (0.2 64 nm) for GBL. 28 If the solvent-separated ion pairs are formed, all lithium salts should be completely dissociated by Eq. Ii.

The author considers that this kind of argument is diffi- cult for slightly associated electrolytes, because the present conductance theories do not have such completeness as to afford an exact association constant (ambiguity of the coef-

Conclusion 1. The order of mobil i ty in PC and GBL is BF~ > C104 >

PF~ > AsF~ > CF3SO3 > (CFaSQ)~N > CaFgSO~ > BPhg. 2. The order of dissociation abi l i ty in PC and GBL is

Li(CF~SQ)2N, LiAsF6 > LiPFG > L iCIQ > LiBF4 > LiC4FgSQ > LiCF3SO3.

3. Ionic radi i obtained by MM2 calculation are sui tably applicable to Stokes law.

4. Association constants can be reasonably compared, even though ambigui ty exists in the absolute values of as- sociation constants.
