Ionic liquids with fluorinated block-oligomer tails: Influence of self-assembly on transport properties

Abstract: A novel imidazolium iodide ionic liquid with an u-perfluoroalkyl poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) tail attached to the imidazolium ring has been synthesized for its potential incorporation as an electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells. The ionic liquid molecules, with block oligomer tails, self-assembled to form a solvent-free ionic gel, without the assistance of an external gelator or an immobilizing matrix. The solidification was evidently facilitated by the generation of ionic clusters due to electrostatic int… Show more

“…These special interactions are in fact more important in the case of polar and associative solvent such as water than in the case of polar but non-associative solvent like the PC. We can then conclude that in ([Pyrr] As expected and shown in the Figure 6, the conductivity of each composition increases with the temperature [49]. where B  ,  0 and …”

“…The second weight loss step, started at ~302 C, comprising a significant fraction of 77 wt%, could be assigned to chemical degradation of STIIL, and kept constant after 400 C. However, it should be noted that the maximum decomposition temperature (400 C) was much higher than that of reported PEG functionalized imidazolium ionic liquids [43,56] . Moreover, STIIL exhibited a soft gel state with a rather low fluidity at room temperature, that is, it is hard to flow out of an inverted tube, accompanying a viscosity as high as 19000 cP (Fig.…”

“…In particular, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been incorporated into cationic or anionic units to produce the ether-derivative ionic liquids, the inclusion of alkoxy moieties always affects the physicochemical properties of relevant products. For example, ionic liquids with a linear-PEG tail attached to the imidazolium ring had been reported by Krishnan et al [43] . The final products could self-assemble to form a solvent-free ionic gel without assistance, and had been tested to possess a potential application as an electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells.…”

“…We have synthesized and characterized an imidazolium iodide ionic liquid containing anperfluoroalkyl poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) tail [1]. The solid phase of this material was accomplished through the generation of ionic clusters by electrostatic interactions, as well as through microphase separation of the immiscible perfluoroalkyl and PEG segments of the cation used.…”
