Molecular insights of Na+ ion in binary and ternary imidazolium ionic liquid mixtures
We employ all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the intermolecular structure, dynamics, and thermodynamic properties of Na+ ions in ionic liquids (ILs) mixture in water. We have considered five different binary and two ternary combinations of IL mixtures having [EMIM]+ as a common cation and four different anions, such as Benzoate [BEZ]−, Nitrate [NO3]−, Hexafluorophosphate [PF6]−, and Tetrafluoroborate [BF4]−. Several structural, dynamic, and thermodynamic properties are examined, which include radial distribution functions (RDF), ion self-diffusion coefficients, ionic conductivity, and solvation free energy. The values of the self-diffusion coefficient for Na+ ions are significantly higher in the [EMIM][BF4] and [EMIM][NO3] mixtures when compared to other IL mixtures. This further presents that the IL mixture comprising [EMIM][BF4] along with [EMIM][NO3] has a higher ionic conductivity in the presence of water. The corresponding solvation-free energy of Na+ ions (ΔGNa) also aligns with the observed structural transition. Among all the systems, the ternary mixtures show higher ionic conductivity than the binary system. Overall, this manuscript presents a fundamental behavior of IL mixture (binary vs. ternary) solvation behavior and its influence on the Na+ ion in the presence of water.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
