Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Hydroquinone Sulfonate-Based Redox Active Ionic Liquid.

ABSTRACT: Introducing redox-active moieties into an ionic liquid (IL) structure is an exciting and attractive approach that has received increasing interest over recent years for a various range of energy applications. The so-called redox-active ionic liquids (RAILs) provide a highly versatile platform to potentially create multifunctional electroactive materials. Ionic liquids are molten salts consisting of ionic species, often having a melting point lower than 100 °C. Such liquids are obtained by combining a bulky asymmetric organic cation and a small anion. Here, we report on the synthesis of a novel RAIL, namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydroquinone sulfonate ((BMIM)(HQS)). (BMIM)(HQS) was synthesized in a two-step procedure, starting by the quaternization of methylimidazole using butylchloride to produce 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ((BMIM)(Cl)), and followed by the anion exchange reaction, where the chloride anion is exchanged with hydroquinone sulfonate. The resulting product was characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, themogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry, and shows a high stability up to 340 °C. Its electrochemical behavior was investigated using cyclic voltammetry at different temperatures and its viscosity analysis was also performed at variable temperatures. The electrochemical response of the presented RAIL was found to be temperature dependent and diffusion controlled. Overall, our results demonstrated that (BMIM)(mix of HQS and HSQ) is redox active and possesses high stability and low volatility, leading to the employment of this RAIL without any additional supporting electrolyte or additives.

Novel Luminescent Ionic Adducts Based on Pyrene-1-sulfonate.

Project description:The potential of pyrene-1-sulfonate to act as an emitting anion for the development of ionic liquids is explored here. Amphiphilic trimethylpropylammonium hepta(isooctyl)octasilsesquioxane and conventional imidazolium, namely, 1-vinyl-3-hexyl-, 1-vinyl-3-decyl-, and 1-methyl-3-decyl-imidazolium, featuring moderate alkyl chain length substituents, have been chosen as countercations. The new species have been synthesized via simple metathesis reactions involving pyrene-1-sulfonate sodium salt and the appropriate halide cation precursors. Their thermal behavior has been investigated by thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry at different scanning rates. According to this latter technique, only the trimethylpropylammonium hepta(isooctyl)octasilsesquioxane pyrenesulfonate adduct, displaying a reversible glass transition at -4.2 °C, may be classified as an ionic liquid. All pyrene-1-sulfonate imidazolium-based ion pairs are crystalline solids with the melting point just above 100 °C that produce very complex, nonreversible, and scanning rate-dependent thermograms, very likely arising from polymorphism phenomena. Such a behavior may be attributed to the pyrene-1-sulfonate polycyclic system, which in solution, as confirmed through spectroscopic characterization, displays a general attitude in promoting supramolecular structures via cation interactions. Emission lifetime measurements on the emitting fluorophore reveal that there are at least two different active species, whereas light scattering measurements show the presence of aggregates with hydrodynamic radii depending on the medium and adduct concentration. Tests aimed at investigating the potential of these novel pyrene-1-sulfonate salts in functionalization/exfoliation of graphite flakes are also reported here.

Rocking-Chair Proton Batteries with Conducting Redox Polymer Active Materials and Protic Ionic Liquid Electrolytes.

Project description:Rechargeable batteries that use redox-active organic compounds are currently considered an energy storage technology for the future. Functionalizing redox-active groups onto conducting polymers to make conducting redox polymers (CRPs) can effectively solve the low conductivity and dissolution problems of redox-active compounds. Here, we employ a solution-processable postdeposition polymerization (PDP) method, where the rearrangements ensured by partial dissolution of intermediated trimer during polymerization were found significant to produce high-performance CRPs. We show that quinizarin (Qz)- and naphthoquinone (NQ)-based CRPs can reach their theoretical capacity through optimization of the polymerization conditions. Combining the two CRPs, with the Qz-CRP as a cathode, the NQ-CRP as an anode, and a protic ionic liquid electrolyte, yields a 0.8 V proton rocking-chair battery. The conducting additive-free all-organic proton battery exhibits a capacity of 62 mAh/g and a capacity retention of 80% after 500 cycles using rapid potentiostatic charging and galvanostatic discharge at 4.5 C.

Redox-active glyme-Li tetrahalogenoferrate(iii) solvate ionic liquids for semi-liquid lithium secondary batteries.

Project description:Solvate ionic liquids (SILs), comprising long-lived, Li solvate cations and counter anions, serve as highly Li-ion-conductive and non-flammable electrolytes for use in lithium secondary batteries. In this work, we synthesized a series of novel redox-active glyme(oligoether)-Li salt-based SILs, consisting of a symmetric ([Li(G3)]+) or asymmetric ([Li(G3Bu)]+) triglyme-Li salt complex and redox-active tetrahalogenoferrate ([FeX]- (X = Br4, Cl3Br, Cl4)), for use as the catholyte in semi-liquid lithium secondary batteries. The successful formation of stable molten complexes of [Li(G3/G3Bu)][FeX] was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The melting point (T m) depended on both the molecular weights of the complex anions and the structures of the complex cations. [Li(G3)][FeCl4] comprised complex cations with a symmetric structure, and the smallest complex anions showed the lowest T m of 28.2 °C. The redox properties of the [FeX]-/[FeX]2- couple strongly suggested the suitability of [Li(G3/G3Bu)][FeX] as a catholyte. The discharge capacities of semi-liquid lithium secondary batteries utilizing the [Li(G3/G3Bu)][FeX] catholyte depended on the structure of the SILs, and the cell with [Li(G3)][FeCl4] showed the highest capacity with relatively good capacity retention. This study confirmed the feasibility of the glyme-based redox-active SILs as catholytes for scalable redox-flow type batteries.

Integration of Stable Ionic Liquid-Based Nanofluids into Polymer Membranes. Part I: Membrane Synthesis and Characterization.

Project description:In this work, polymeric membranes functionalized with ionic liquids (ILs) and exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets (xGnP) were developed and characterized. These membranes based on graphene ionanofluids (IoNFs) are promising materials for gas separation. The stability of the selected IoNFs in the polymer membranes was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The morphology of membranes was characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and interferometric optical profilometry (WLOP). SEM results evidence that upon the small addition of xGnP into the IL-dominated environment, the interaction between IL and xGnP facilitates the migration of xGnP to the surface, while suppressing the interaction between IL and Pebax®1657. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was also used to determine the polymer-IoNF interactions and the distribution of the IL in the polymer matrix. Finally, the thermodynamic properties and phase transitions (polymer-IoNF) of these functionalized membranes were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This analysis showed a gradual decrease in the melting point of the polyamide (PA6) blocks with a decrease in the corresponding melting enthalpy and a complete disappearance of the crystallinity of the polyether (PEO) phase with increasing IL content. This evidences the high compatibility and good mixing of the polymer and the IoNF.

Novel Phosphonium-Based Ionic Liquid Electrolytes for Battery Applications.

Project description:In this study, we address the fundamental question of the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of phosphonium-based ionic liquids containing the counter-ions bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([TFSI]-) and bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([FSI]-). To clarify these structure-property as well as structure-activity relationships, trimethyl-based alkyl- and ether-containing phosphonium ILs were systematically synthesized, and their properties, namely density, flow characteristics, alkali metal compatibility, oxidative stability, aluminum corrosivity as well as their use in Li-ion cells were examined comprehensively. The variable moiety on the phosphonium cation exhibited a chain length of four and five, respectively. The properties were discussed as a function of the side chain, counter-ion and salt addition ([Li][TFSI] or [Li][FSI]). High stability coupled with good flow characteristics were found for the phosphonium IL [P1114][TFSI] and the mixture [P1114][TFSI] + [Li][TFSI], respectively.

Heterogeneous electron transfer reorganization energy at the inner Helmholtz plane in a polybromide redox-active ionic liquid.

Project description:In ionic liquids (ILs), the electric double layer (EDL) is where heterogeneous electron transfer (ET) occurs. Nevertheless, the relationship between the EDL structure and its kinetics has been rarely studied, especially for ET taking place in the inner Helmholtz plane (IHP). This is largely because of the lack of an appropriate model system for experiments. In this work, we determined the reorganization energy (λ) of Br2 reduction in a redox-active IL 1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium polybromide (MEPBr2n+1) based on the Marcus-Hush-Chidsey model. Exceptionally fast mass transport of Br2 in MEPBr2n+1 allows voltammograms to be obtained in which the current plateau is regulated by electron-transfer kinetics. This enables investigation of the microscopic environment in the IHP of the IL affecting electrocatalytic reactions through reorganization energy. As a demonstration, TiO2-modified Pt was employed to show pH-dependent reorganization energy, which suggests the switch of major ions at the IHP as a function of surface charges of electrodes.

A redox-active ionic liquid manifesting charge-transfer interaction between a viologen and carbazole and its effect on the viscosity, ionic conductivity, and redox process of the viologen.

Project description:Redox-active ionic liquids (RAILs) are gaining attention as a material that can create a wide range of functions. We herein propose a charge-transfer (CT) RAIL by mixing two RAILs, specifically a carbazole-based ionic liquid ([CzC4ImC1][TFSI]) as a donor and a viologen-based ionic liquid ([C4VC7][TFSI]2) as an acceptor. We investigated the effect of CT interaction on the physicochemical properties of the CT ionic liquid (CT-IL) using the results of temperature-dependent measurements of UV-vis absorption, viscosity, and ionic conductivity as well as cyclic voltammograms. We employed the Walden analysis and the Grunberg-Nissan model to elucidate the effect of the CT interaction on the viscosity and ionic conductivity. The CT interaction reduces the viscosity by reducing the electrostatic attraction between the dicationic viologen and TFSI anion. It also reduces the ionic conductivity by the CT association of the dicationic viologen and carbazole. The electrochemically reversible responses of the viologens in [C4VC7][TFSI]2 and CT-IL are consistent with the Nernstian and the interacting two-redox site models. Notably, the transport and electrochemical properties are modulated by CT interaction, leading to unique features that are not present in individual component ILs. The inclusion of CT interaction in RAILs thus provides a powerful means to expand the scope of functionalized ionic liquids.

Novel 3-Methyl-2-alkylthio Benzothiazolyl-Based Ionic Liquids: Synthesis, Characterization, and Antibiotic Activity.

Project description:Three series of novel 3-methyl-2-alkylthio benzothiazolyl ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesized for the first time. After structural identification, their melting point, solubility, and thermostability together with antibiotic activity were determined successively. As a result, 3-methyl-2-alkylthio benzothiazolyl p-toluene sulfonate was found to have the highest antibacterial activity among the three series of ILs. Meanwhile, it has a good solubility in water as well. On the basis of comprehensive comparison with similar compounds, the effect of cations and anions of these benzothiazolium ILs on typical physical properties together with antibiotic performance was explored and discussed, which is very beneficial to take the greatest advantage of their structural designability for various purposes. Furthermore, the experiment data preliminarily discovered the relationships of the structure-properties/activities of the above three kinds ILs to a certain extent, which can provide useful references for future research and for the potential application of these new ILs as surfactant antiseptics or agricultural chemicals.
