ABSTRACT
Electrochemical and transport properties of the pure 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ionic liquid, [bmim][DCA], and its binary liquid mixtures with .gamma.-butyrolactone (GBL) were studied at temperatures from (273.15 to 323.15) K at atmospheric pressure over the whole composition range. Electrical conductivity data were correlated using Arrhenius, Casteel Amis and Vogel Tammann Fulcher equations. Several semi-empirical models (quasi-Arrhenius and Bahe Varela model) were also tested. Electrochemical stability of {[bmim][DCA] + GBL} was also investigated. It was found that addition of GBL do not reduce electrochemical stability of investigated solution. All the results obtained for {[bmim][DCA] + GBL} are compared with those reported for binary mixtures of GBL and ionic liquids with dicyanamide, [DCA] , and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [TFSI] , anions. At the compositions where maximum of conductivity is observed, difference in conductivity between [DCA] and [TFSI] based ionic liquids + GBL mixtures is around 70%. It was found that type of the cation (imidazolium and pyrrolidinium) do not influence the electrical conductivity of the mixture.
