本研究是針對以苯並咪唑(Benzimidazole)為主體的化學結構並導入不同的官能基而成為鋰離子池的電解液鋰鹽添加劑。藉由電化學石英晶體微天平探討在不同陽極電極下的電化學反應動力學，與核磁共振光譜鑑定反應後產物(固態電解質界面膜(Solid Electrolyte Interface，SEI))的結構組成與可能的形成機制。
由實驗結果顯示添加苯並咪唑鋰鹽確實影響了EC還原電位特別是LiBZ與LiMB，不僅在金電極的結果或是石墨電極的結果中皆顯示有提早進行還原反應的作用，其反應動力學的方式皆有很顯著的改變，另外LiTFB含有(-CF3)取代基能夠提高拉電子的能力，使電子雲密度集中不因氧化而導致結構開環，在過去研究中以及In-situ EQCM的實證，LiTFB會與碳酸酯類產生新型態的固態電解質界面膜。

In this study, benzimidazole as the main body of the structure to research different functional groups as the electrolyte solution of lithium salt. The results were tested by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance to investigate benzimidazole lithium salt additives in different electrodes electrochemical reaction kinetics and the formation mechanism of Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI). The chemical composition of solid electrolyte interface film was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
The results showed the addition of benzimidazole lithium salt did affect the EC reduction potential, especially in LiBZ and LiMB, not only in the results of the gold electrode but also the results of the graphite electrode showed the effects of the early reduction reaction. The reaction of kinetics changed significantly as well. In addition, LiTFB contains (-CF3) substituents improved the electron density of LiTFB. In the previous research and in-situ EQCM proved that the LiTFB and carbonates would produce novel forms of solid electrolytes.
