• the second example consists in dissolving at room temperature a salt mixture containing LiPF6 and LiTDI (or LiPF6 alone for reference) at a total concentration of 1 mol / L, in a mixture of three carbonates: ethylene carbonate ( EC), diethyl carbonate (DEC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in respective proportions by weight of 36.84%, 61.16% and 2% respectively.

• LiTDI lithium salt has been demonstrated in the various series of electrochemical tests performed on 10 mAh or 1 1.5 mAh battery-packs.
• the systems studied are LFP (with carbon black and NTC or VGCF) / graphite and NMC / graphite.
• the tests were carried out between 25 ° C and 60 ° C, with or without application of constant voltage at the end of the load.
• LiTDI from 0.05 mol / L
• LiTDI could capture the water molecules and prevent the formation of HF that occurs when the LiPF6 reacts with traces of moisture that may be contained in the cathodes , anodes, separator, solvent, packaging, etc.
• LiTDI does not seem to be affected by the presence of moisture and can increase the life of the battery even at low concentrations.
• the series of tests carried out also demonstrates the good resistance in excessive cycling (application of constant voltage at the end of charging) electrolytes tested when they contain LiTDI (from 0.05 mol / L).
• the tests carried out at ambient temperature on the LFP / graphite system further demonstrate the resistance to excessive cycling (no effect of temperature) electrolytes containing LiTDI, whether with VGCF or NTC type electronic conductors; the life of the battery being multiplied by 2.5 or 3.2 times.
