The room-temperature molten salts possess a number of unique properties that make them ideal battery electrolytes. In particular, they are nonflammable, nonvolatile, and chemically inert, and they display wide electrochemical windows, high inherent conductivities, and wide thermal operating ranges. Although the ionic liquids have excellent characteristics, the chemical and electrochemical properties of desirable battery electrode materials are not well understood in these electrolytes. In this paper, we present results for rechargeable lithium and sodium anodes in buffered neutral chloroaluminate melts and lithium and lithium-aluminum alloy anodes in a BF 4 − ionic liquid.
