Description

1-Decyl-3-Methylimidazolium Triflate is a high-purity ionic liquid belonging to the imidazolium family. This compound is valued for its excellent chemical stability, low viscosity, and wide electrochemical window, making it a superior solvent and electrolyte component. It is primarily sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the fields of advanced materials science, electrochemistry, and green chemistry for applications requiring non-volatile, tunable reaction media.

Application

• Electrolyte for Energy Storage: Used as a key component in electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to its high ionic conductivity and thermal stability.
• Green Solvent & Reaction Medium: Serves as an alternative to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in catalysis, organic synthesis, and polymerization processes, facilitating easier product separation and recycling.
• Gas Separation & Capture: Employed in supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) for the selective separation of CO2 and other gases from industrial streams.
• Lubricant & Additive: Functions as a high-performance lubricant or anti-wear additive for demanding mechanical systems, offering low volatility and high thermal decomposition temperatures.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized as a stationary phase modifier in chromatography or as a matrix in mass spectrometry for analyzing complex mixtures.
• Material Synthesis: Acts as a templating agent or solvent in the synthesis of nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and conductive polymers.

Quality Control

Our 1-Decyl-3-Methylimidazolium Triflate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, water content, and halide levels are provided with every shipment to support your research and production quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
