Abstract
Disclosed herein are compositions for use in an energy providing devices and methods of preparing such devices. Also included herein is energy providing devices that comprise a charged compound modified substrate or zwitterion-modified substrate or energy providing devices that comprise an electrolyte that comprises a perhalogenatedphenyl azide charged or zwitterionic compound.
Claims20
A method of preparing a charged compound modified substrate or zwitterion modified substrate comprising:
- a) incubating the substrate with a solution comprising a charged or zwitterion compound for at least 40 minutes;
- and
- b) exposing the treated substrate of step a) under a light source for at least one minute, thereby generating the charged compound modified substrate or zwitterion modified substrate.
A compound that has the structure of Formula IIa:
- wherein
- A is selected from —C(═O)— and —(SO2)—;
- each of R1a and R1b is independently selected from hydrogen and halogen;
- each of R2a and R2b is halogen;
- R3 is selected from hydrogen and C1-C4 alkyl;
- and
- R10a, R10b, and R10c are independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl.
A compound that has the structure of Formula IIb:
- wherein
- A is selected from —C(═O)— and —(SO2)—;
- each of R1a and R1b is independently selected from hydrogen and halogen;
- each of Rea and R2b is halogen;
- and
- R3 is selected from hydrogen and C1-C4 alkyl.
