Near-Wall Molecular Ordering of Dilute Ionic Liquids

چکیده
The interfacial behavior of ionic liquids promises tunable lubrication as well as playing an integral role in ion diffusion for electron transfer. Diluting the ionic liquids optimizes bulk parameters, such as electric conductivity, and one would expect dilution to disrupt the near-wall molecular ordering. We study this ordering in the ionic liquids [Emim]+[NTf2]-, [Emim]+[DCA]-, and [C4mpyr]+[NTf2]-, diluted in the solvent dimethyl sulfoxide. We found a structural crossover from well-ordered ionic liquids to a well-ordered solvent with increasing dilution, but this occurs nonlinearly, with solvent molecules initially space-filling and solvating and later disrupting the ionic layers. This is of key importance for ionic liquids as optimized tunable nanolubricants.

Selective Extraction of Copper, Mercury, Silver and Palladium Ions from Water Using Hydrophobic Ionic Liquids
Extraction of dilute metal ions from water was performed near room temperature with a variety of ionic liquids. Distribution coefficients are reported for fourteen metal ions extracted with ionic liquids containing cations 1-octyl-4-methylpyridinium [4MOPYR], 1-methyl-1octylpyrrolidinium [MOPYRRO] or 1-methyl-1-octylpiperidinium [MOPIP], and anions tetrafluoroborate [BF4], trifluoromethyl sulfo...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of model room temperature ionic liquids with divalent anions
Room temperature ionic liquids contain molecular ions which are, in general, monovalent. In the present work, the intermolecular structure, dynamics and intermediate range structure in a model ionic liquid, whose cation and anion are monoand di-valent respectively, have been explored. Charge compensation is met by doubling the mole fraction of the cations in the sample. Through coarse grained m...

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass materials from poplar, acacia, oak, and fir with different ionic liquids (ILs) containing 1-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium cations and various anions has been carried out. The dissolved cellulose from biomass was precipitated by adding anti-solvents into the solution and vigorous stirring. Commercial cellulases Celluclast 1.5L and Accelerase 1000 have been us...
