<div> <div> <div> <p>The use of ionic liquid-based colloids at elevated temperatures is one of their most promising fields of application. However long term stability on the whole range of temperature is mandatory. First a detailed study on colloidal dispersions of iron oxide nanoparticles in EMIM TFSI is performed at room temperature in order to determine the best solid/liquid interface. The previously identified key parameters are tuned: the surface charge density and the nature of the counterions. Here a sulfonate based imidazolium ion is chosen. In a second step, the thermal stability of these nanoparticle dispersions is analysed on the short and long term up to 473 K (200◦C) combining dynamic light scattering (DLS), small angle X-ray/neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Ionic liquid-based colloidal dispersions of iron oxide nanoparticles in EMIM TFSI stable in the long term can be obtained at least up to 473 K and nanoparticle concentrations of 12 vol% (≈30wt%) </p> </div> </div> </div>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
