研究目的
Investigating the dielectric properties of ionic liquids confined in a metal-organic framework to understand their potential for improving the energy density of future storage devices.
研究成果
Confining BMIM-Cl in MFU-4 allows analyzing intrinsic relaxations and the impact of glass transition, which is a feasible way to experimentally access the correlation length in ionic liquids. The relaxation time is dramatically reduced in confinement, suggesting a common origin of this relaxation, likely the reorientation of the cations.
研究不足
The study is limited by the resolution of the dielectric measurements and the need for further measurements at higher temperatures and lower frequencies to clarify the impact of the confinement effect on intrinsic relaxations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves confining the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride (BMIM-Cl) in a metal-organic framework (MFU-4) and analyzing its dielectric properties across a broad temperature and frequency range.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
BMIM-Cl was confined in MFU-4 by employing the ionic liquid as a co-solvent in the synthesis. The purity of the product was verified by XRPD analysis and IR spectroscopy.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Seifert XRD 3003 TT diffractometer, Bruker Equinox 55 FT-IR spectrometer, TA Q500 for TGA-measurements, Varian mercury plus 400 for 1H NMR spectroscopy, Novocontrol α-analyzer for dielectric measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The dielectric properties were measured in a frequency range of about 10 mHz –
5:2 kHz and a temperature range from 130 to 330 K using a frequency-response analyzer. Data Analysis Methods:
The complex permittivity and the real part of the conductivity were analyzed to reveal relaxation times and dc-conductivities.
