Modeling the volumetric properties of some imidazolium and phosphonium based ionic liquids from surface tension

Phosphonium ionic liquid-promoted Ce-doped nitrogen-rich TiO2 for degradation gaseous pollutant under visible light irradiation

“…The average crystallite sizes of TiO 2 (P25), T-PT and CNT-PT are 17.34, 10.67 and 10.77 nm calculated by Scherrer formula, respectively, while the data of imidazolium IL-TiO 2 are 12-34 nm [9,18,20,21]. This suggests that PIL with lower interface tensions than imidazolium IL leads to higher nucleation rate of inorganic materials, which result in the fact that the crystallite growth only goes through a weak Ostwald ripening process [22,23]. Meanwhile, the SEM images (figure 1(b)) also proved that the application of PIL is beneficial to the formation of small crystallite size and good particle dispersion.…”

Combining soft-SAFT and COSMO-RS modeling tools to assess the CO2–SO2 separation using phosphonium-based ionic liquids

“…Currently, phosphonium-based ILs have been characterized using different equations of state by several authors, although they have never been modeled with soft-SAFT. Specifically, Mozaffari et al [26,27] used a modified version of the Song-Mason EoS, while Ferreira et al [28] employed three different equations for the same purpose (i.e., the Goharshadi-Morsali-Abbaspour and the Sanchez-Lacombe EoSs to reproduce experimental densities and the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann correlation for the viscosities). Similarly, Tomé et al.…”
