This document specifies the technical constraints for the [C2MIm] SOM ionic liquid. The compound is water-soluble and requires aqueous compatibility for solution-based applications.
- Solubility: The compound is fully soluble in water, restricting its use to systems that are compatible with aqueous environments.
What performance trade-off exists when using [C₂MIm] methylsulfate in aqueous versus organic electrolyte systems?
The product is specifically noted as water soluble and intended for aqueous solution-based ionic workflows; no solubility data in organic solvents is provided in the description. Therefore, using this ionic liquid in organic electrolytes would likely result in phase separation or limited dissolution, restricting its performance to aqueous systems.
Is [C₂MIm] methylsulfate compatible with standard lithium battery electrolyte salts such as LiPF6?
The product description provides no compatibility data with lithium salts or common battery electrolyte components. As a research-grade material, its integration into specific electrolyte formulations requires experimental validation by the user.
What handling and storage conditions are recommended to preserve the high purity of [C₂MIm] methylsulfate?
The product description does not specify handling or storage recommendations. Users should contact ATOMFAIR directly for established protocols to maintain the research-grade quality of this ionic liquid.
This research-grade ionic liquid provides reliable aqueous solubility for solution-based ionic workflows, but its documented performance is limited to water systems and requires controlled handling to maintain purity.
Positive
- High-Purity Research Grade: Engineered for precision laboratory synthesis and electrochemical testing, ensuring reliable and reproducible results.
- Aqueous Solution Stability: High solubility in water provides stable performance matrices for solution-based ionic workflows.
Trade-offs
- Requires Controlled Handling: As a research-grade ionic liquid, it demands expert handling and controlled environmental conditions to maintain purity and performance stability.
- Limited Solvent Compatibility: Only water solubility is documented; performance in non-aqueous solvents is not characterized, restricting application scope.
