The finer crystal structures were further detected by wide angle X-ray diffraction （WAXD） and small angle X-ray scattering （SAXS）. Crystallization of PEO is largely suppressed by [BMIM][PF6] addition especially at higher ionic liquid （IL） concentrations above 20 wt%. Both the overall crystallization rate and the spherulite growth decrease with the increase of IL content and crystallization temperature; however, the crystallization mechanism keeps unchanged as evidenced by the similar Avrami exponent n and WAXD results. The addition of [BMIM][PF6] could induce more nuclei to some extent, but the induction time of crystallization is evidently prolonged, and a linear to non-linear transition of the spherulite growth （R ∝ t to R ∝t^1/2） can be observed. At higher IL concentration, the spherulite texture changes apparently from particular serrated to branch surface due to the diffusion-controlled growth and the dilution effect, which also as a main factor contributes to the increasing trend of the long period of crystals.展开更多
