Therefore, in this paper a new method for separation of ILs from their dilute aqueous solutions and simultaneously purification of water was proposed on the basis of the CO2 hydrate formation. For illustration, the dilute aqueous solutions with concentrations of ILs ranging from 2× 10^-3 mol% to 2×10^-1 mol% were concentrated. The results show that the separation efficiency is very impressive and that the new method is applicable to aqueous solutions of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic ILs. Compared to the literature separation method based on the supercritical CO2, the new method is applicable to lower concentrations, and more importantly, its operation condition is mild.展开更多
The values of density and surface tension for aqueous solution of ionic liquid(IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimi- dazolium acetate([C4nim][OAc]) with various molalities were measured in the range of 288.15--318.15 K at inte...The values of density and surface tension for aqueous solution of ionic liquid(IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimi- dazolium acetate([C4nim][OAc]) with various molalities were measured in the range of 288.15--318.15 K at intervals of 5 K. On the basis of thermodynamics, a semi-empirical model-molar surface Gibbs energy model of the ionic liquid solution that could be used to predict the surface tension or molar volume of solutions was put forward. The predicted values of the surface tension for aqueous [C4mim][OAc] and the corresponding experimental ones were highly correlated and extremely similar. In terms of the concept of the molar Gibbs energy, a new Eotvos equation was obtained and each parameter of the new equation has a clear physical meaning.展开更多

With advantages of stability and durabilid, a liquid-solid-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has recently drawn much attention. However, the impacts of liquid properties on the TENG performance and the related working principle are still unclear. We assembled herein a U-tube TENG based on the liquid-solid mode and applied 11 liquids to study the effects of liquid properties on the TENG output performance. The results confirmed that the key factors influencing the output are polarity, dielectric constant, and affinity to fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). Among the 11 liquids, the pure water-based U-tube TENG exhibited the best output with an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 81.7 V and a short-circuit current (Isc) of 0.26 μA for the shaking mode (0.5 Hz), which can further increase to 93.0 V and 0.48 μA, respectively, for the horizontal shifting mode (1.25 Hz). The U-tube TENG can be utilized as a self-powered concentration sensor (component concentration or metal ion concentration) for an aqueous solution with an accuracy higher than 92%. Finally, an upgraded sandwich-like water-FEP U-tube TENG was applied to harvest water-wave energy, showing a high output with Voc of 350 V, Isc of 1.75 μA, and power density of 2.04 W/m3. We successfully lighted up 60 LEDs and powered a temperature-humidity meter. Given its high output performance, the water-FEP U-tube TENG is a very promising approach for harvesting water-wave energy for self-powered electronics.展开更多
