Quaternary ammonium ionic liquids based on -SO3H with different alkyl chain lengths as electrolytes for fuel cells and the mechanism for proton transfer in ionic liquid
Journal of Molecular Structure(2023)
Abstract
•The single cell with NC3SO3HHSO4 had a higher MPD than that with NC4SO3HHSO4.•Cell performance relies on proton transfer between cations and their neutral forms.•The steric hindrance effect of the cations may hinder proton transfer.
