In this work we have studied the effect of 1 M bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide metallic salts in acetonitrile (1 M MeTFSI, where Me = Li, Na, K, Cs or Mg) as an electrolyte for electrochemical capacitors (ECs), using computational quantum mechanical modelling, Raman analysis, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and constant power methods. Also, the ionic conductivities of 1 M MeTFSI in AN have been measured and discussed. The ECs based on the 1 M KTFSI in AN electrolyte deliver the higher power density and energy density compared to other MeTFSI based electrolytes and showing excellent characteristics applicable in high energy and power EC devices.
