It serves as the high-stability, non-flammable solvent into which a mobile metal salt is dissolved (e.g., LiPF6, LiTFSI, NaTFSI, or KTFSI) to create the working electrolyte. EMImCl is primarily used as a component in the electrolyte systems for Aluminum-Ion Batteries (AIBs) and related technologies, rather than as a neat solvent for conventional lithium or sodium salts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Electroplating and Batteries\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is the most famous application for [EMIM]Cl. When mixed with Aluminum Chloride (AlCl3), it forms a room-temperature liquid known as a Chloroaluminate melt. As for electroplating, it allows for the high-quality plating of aluminum onto other metals at room temperature, which is impossible in aqueous solutions because aluminum reacts violently with water. For aluminum-ion batteries, [EMIM]Cl+ AlCl3 serves as the electrolyte for rechargeable aluminum batteries. The [AlCl4]- and [Al2Cl7]- ions facilitate the reversible intercalation of aluminum into graphite cathodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCO2 Electroreduction (CO2RR)\u003c\/strong\u003e: [EMIM]Cl is used as a functional additive in aqueous CO2 reduction. The [EMIM]+ cation adsorbs onto the catalyst surface and stabilizes the CO2'- radical intermediate. The presence of the chloride (Cl-) anion can specifically modify the surface of Copper or Silver catalysts, often promoting the formation of Carbon Monoxide (CO) or Formate by suppressing the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs for supercapacitors\u003c\/strong\u003e, [EMIM]Cl is rarely used as a pure liquid due to its melting point. Instead, it is typically used in ionogels or as a redox-active additive. [EMIM]Cl is often immobilized within a polymer matrix (like PVA or PVDF) to create a solid-state electrolyte. These \"ionogels\" offer high thermal stability and eliminate the risk of leakage found in liquid-cell supercapacitors. Compared to protons (H+), the bulky [EMIM]+ cation has lower mobility, which can lead to higher Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and lower power density. However, it allows for a wider Electrochemical Stability Window (ESW) of ~2.8 V, significantly higher than the 1.2 V limit of aqueous systems.The chloride anion can sometimes participate in surface redox reactions with specific electrode materials (like RuO2 or certain conductive polymers), providing additional \"pseudocapacitive\" energy storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 391.6px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCESAILEMIMCl (C-ESA-ILEMIMCl)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCAS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e65039-09-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 216px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 216px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 216px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eC6H11ClN2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/6591\/1526\/files\/CBESEMImCl_molecular_structure_160x160.png?v=1765250692\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppearance\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOff-white to pale yellow powder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePurity\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026gt;99.0%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e146.62 g\/mol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMelting Point\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e77-79 °C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.6331%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackage Size\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.0072%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25 or 100 g\/bottle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Please try to store the EMIMCl powder is in the dry place. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.1149\/2.0811713jes\/meta\"\u003eJ.
