Abstract

We report that room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have shown great potential in a wide range of applications, especially as novel electrolytes for energy generation. Understanding microscopic dynamics under variable environmental conditions provides critical knowledge of the microscopic interactions in RTILs, which are closely linked to their functionality. Here, we investigate a response of a RTIL, EmimTFSI, to application of a high pressure, up to 1.0 GPa, using quasi-elastic neutron scattering, Raman and X-ray scattering. The ionic liquid transitions from a liquid to a solid state at above ~0.5 GPa and returns to its liquid state following full decompression. However, following such pressure application, the resulting liquid no longer possesses either cations, or anions, as individual entities, as evident from quasi-elastic scattering and Raman scattering results, respectively. We suggest that a possible cause for this behavior could be dimerization of ions, which needs to be considered when designing RTILs for moderate high-pressure applications.

Engineering the Interlayer Spacing by Pre-Intercalation for High Performance Supercapacitor MXene Electrodes in Room Temperature Ionic Liquid

Journal Article Liang, Kun ; Matsumoto, Ray A. ; Zhao, Wei ; ... - Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract MXenes exhibit excellent capacitance at high scan rates in sulfuric acid aqueous electrolytes, but the narrow potential window of aqueous electrolytes limits the energy density. Organic electrolytes and room‐temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) can provide higher potential windows, leading to higher energy density. The large cation size of RTIL hinders its intercalation in‐between the layers of MXene limiting the specific capacitance in comparison to aqueous electrolytes. In this work, different chain lengths alkylammonium (AA) cations are intercalated into Ti ₃ C ₂ T _x , producing variation of MXene interlayer spacings ( d ‐spacing).

Metal electrodeposition and electron transfer studies of uranium compounds in room temperature ionic liquids.

Conference Stoll, M E ; Oldham, W J ; Costa, D A

Room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL's) comprised of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium or quaternary ammonium cations and one of several anions such as PF{sub 6}{sup -}, BF{sub 4}{sup -}, or {sup -}N(SO{sub 2}CF{sub 3}){sub 2}, represent a class of solvents that possess great potential for use in applications employing electrochemical procedures. Part of the intrigue with RTIL's stems from some of their inherent solvent properties including negligible vapor pressure, good conductivity, high chemical and thermal stability, and non-flammability. Additionally, a substantial number of RTIL's can be envisioned simply by combining different cation and anion pairs, thereby making them attractive for specific application needs. Wemore »« less

Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The lifetime of beating cardiomyocytes was depended on anion functional group. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer A longer lifetime was recorded for no functional group on alkyl chain on their anion. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Amino group on alkyl chain and fluorine in anion induced fatal condition changes. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer We reported liquid electrolyte interface to stimulate cardiomyocytes. -- Abstract: Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are drawing attention as a new class of nonaqueous solvents to replace organic and aqueous solvents for chemical processes in the liquid phase at room temperature.

Diffusivity and Structure of Room Temperature Ionic Liquid in Various Organic Solvents

Journal Article Cui, Jinlei ; Kobayashi, Takeshi ; Sacci, Robert L. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. B, Condensed Matter, Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces and Biophysical Chemistry

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) hold promise for applications in electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs), owing to a much wider potential window, lower vapor pressure, and better thermal and chemical stabilities compared to conventional aqueous and organic electrolytes. However, because the low diffusivity of ions in neat RTILs negates the EDLCs’ advantage of high power density, the ionic liquids are often used in mixture with organic solvents. In this study, we measured the diffusivity of cations and anions in RTIL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) ([BMIM+][TFSI–]), mixed with 10 organic solvents, by using the pulsed-field gradient NMR method. The ion diffusivity was found tomore »« less

Relationship between pore size and reversible and irreversible immobilization of ionic liquid electrolytes in porous carbon under applied electric potential

Journal Article Mahurin, Shannon M. ; Mamontov, Eugene ; Thompson, Matthew W. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Transport of electrolytes in nanoporous carbon-based electrodes largely defines the function and performance of energy storage devices. Here, using molecular dynamics simulation and quasielastic neutron scattering, we investigate the microscopic dynamics of a prototypical ionic liquid electrolyte, [emim][Tf₂N], under applied electric potential in carbon materials with 6.7 nm and 1.5 nm pores. The simulations demonstrate the formation of dense layers of counter-ions near the charged surfaces, which is reversible when the polarity is reversed. In the experiment, the ions immobilized near the surface manifest themselves in the elastic scattering signal. The experimentally observed ion immobilization near the wall is fullymore »« less
