The project is aimed at investigating phosphonium based Ionic Liquids (ILs) for the properties required for their potential use in electrochemical devices. Further, it is expected that the combination of phosphonium cation with different anions such as amino acids, fatty acids, etc. can make the window of possible ILs wider. The operating voltage and working temperature can be varied along with combination of phosphonium cation with different anions in order to develop a class of Ionic Liquids as an affordable electrolyte in electrochemical devices
