Abstract
Amide and methide salts, comprising in the case of an amide salt one cyano (—CN) group, and in the case of a methide salt, two cyano groups are described in applications requiring a high degree of ionic dissociation. The salts are especially useful as electrolyte components in electrochemical cells such as batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, supercapacitors, electrochemical sensors and electrolytic cells, by providing a means for ionic conduction and transport.
