  • Patent number: 10312551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method of ionic liquids, particularly to a one-step reaction method used for synthesizing quaternary ammonium compounds or quaternary phosphonium compounds. In the method, a nitrogenous or phosphorous compound, a proton compound, and a carbonate ester are added into a reactor simultaneously to synthesize corresponding the quaternary ammonium ionic liquid or the quaternary phosphonium ionic liquid through said one-step reaction, i.e., ‘one-pot method’ reaction, during which three reactants are involved. The present invention also provides a lithium ion secondary battery comprising the ionic liquid prepared by above-mentioned preparation method. The ionic liquid preparation method of the present invention can widen the choice range of raw materials needed when preparing ionic liquids, and further widen the synthesized ionic liquid species.

  • Patent number: 9365596
    Abstract: A two-step pathway for preparing high pure quaternary phosphonium salts is disclosed. In the first step, hydrogen phosphide (PH3) or a higher phosphine reacts with a protonic compound to produce a phosphonium salt, which then reacts with a carbonic acid diester to produce a quaternary phosphonium salt in the second step. On one hand, hydrogen phosphide (PH3) and higher phosphines, including primary phosphines, secondary phosphines, and tertiary phosphines, after neutralization with protonic compound, become sufficiently reactive and can be alkylated by carbonic acid diester to form quaternary phosphonium cations. On the other hand, as an anion-exchange procedure is completely avoided, the process not only gives quaternary phosphonium salts of high purity, but also gives people freedom to design the cation and the anion of a quaternary phosphonium salt synchronously by choosing a preferred phosphine and a protonic compound that can supply a desired anion.
