Thermal behaviour of ionogels based on ionic liquid- lithium salt mixtures

The thermal behavior of the mixtures of two protic ionic liquids (ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and ethylimidazolium nitrate ([EIm][NO3])) with lithium nitrate salt (LiNO3), and one aprotic ionic liquid (butyl methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([BMpyrr][TFSI)) with lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide salt (LiTFSI), at different concentrations, was studied in this work using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC-Q2000-TA Instruments). Comparisons with the thermal behavior of silica-based ionogels of these mixtures were also performed.
