Facile Preparation of Flame-Retardant, Non-Toxic Phosphate Ester Ionic Liquid Electrolytes

A phosphate ester compound can include a cation and an anion, the anion being an alkyl phosphate. The phosphate ester compound can be a phosphate ester ionic liquid. The phosphate ester compound can be manufactured in a solvent-free environment. The phosphate ester compound can be used as an electrolyte in a battery, for example, a lithium-ion battery.
