Confinement of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate in metallic silver.
The structure of the composite material consisting of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate (BMINO3) entrapped in a silver matrix was investigated. Entrapment is confirmed by combining thermal analysis and spectroscopic investigations and by comparing physicochemical properties of the genuine ionic liquid and the composite BMINO3@Ag. An organization of the ionic liquid molecules toward the silver surface was observed.
