Facilitated Li⁺ion transfer across the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface by the solvation effect

Abstract

We demonstrate that the solvation effect can be the driving force for ion transfer across the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface. Voltammetric behaviours of facilitated Li(+) ion transfer by the solvents of lithium-based batteries are investigated, which is valuable for the dual-electrolyte Li-air batteries, but also for the ion detection, separation and extraction.
