Abstract: Thermal and electrochemical properties of new room-temperature molten salt electrolytes based on LiTFSI with urea and its derivatives have been studied. These electrolytes appear as liquid at room temperature though they are composed of two solids. DSC analysis shows that the eutectic temperature of LiTFSI and methylurea is about-38 ℃, lower than those of LiTFSI-urea and LiTFSI-1,3-dimethylurea. The conduction behavior of these electrolytes has been evaluated by AC impedance spectroscopy. With increasing numbers of methyl of urea, the conductivities of these room-temperature molten salt electrolytes decrease accordingly. The conductivity of LiTFSI/urea eutectic compound is 1.74×10-4 S/cm at 25 ℃ and 1.24×10-3 S/cm at 50 ℃.
