Unraveling Passivation Mechanism of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids on Inorganic Perovskite to Achieve Near-Record-Efficiency CsPbI_(2)Br Solar Cells

The application of ionic liquids in perovskite has attracted wide-spread attention for its astounding performance improvement of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).However,the detailed mechanisms behind the improvement remain mysterious.Herein,a series of imidazolium-based ionic liquids(IILs)with different cations and anions is systematically investigated to elucidate the passivation mechanism of IILs on inorganic perovskites.It is found that IILs display the following advantages:(1)They form ionic bonds with Cs^(+)and Pb^(2+)cations on the surface and at the grain boundaries of perovskite films,which could effectively heal/reduce the Cs^(+)/I−vacancies and Pb-related defects;(2)They serve as a bridge between the perovskite and the hole-transport-layer for effective charge extraction and transfer;and(3)They increase the hydrophobicity of the perovskite surface to further improve the stability of the CsPbI_(2)Br PSCs.The combination of the above effects results in suppressed non-radiative recombination loss in CsPbI_(2)Br PSCs and an impressive power conversion efficiency of 17.02%.Additionally,the CsPbI_(2)Br PSCs with IILs surface modification exhibited improved ambient and light illumination stability.Our results provide guidance for an indepth understanding of the passivation mechanism of IILs in inorganic perovskites.

Ab Initio Calculation of Room Temperature Ionic Liquid 1-Ethyl-3-Methyl-Imidazolium Chlorocuprate (Ⅰ)

The Hartree-Fock method has been employed to investigate the electronic structures of EMIM^＋（1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium^＋）, CuCl2^-, Cu2Cl3^-, CuCl3^2-, EMIM＋^-CuCl2^-, EMIM^＋-Cu2Cl3^-, and EMIM^＋-CuCl3^2- pairs. Full optimization and frequency analyses of EMIM^＋, CuCl2^-, Cu2Cl3^-, CuC13^-, eight initial EMIM^＋-CuCl2^-, six EMIM^＋-Cu2Cl3^-, and four EMIM^＋-CuCl3^2- geometries have been carried out using Gaussian-94 soft-package at 6-31＋G（d,p） basis set level for hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, chlorine atoms and Hay-Wadt effective core potential for copper atom. The electronic structures of lowest energy of EMIM^＋-CuCl2^-, EMIM＋-Cu2Cl3^-, EMIM^＋-CuCl3^2-, single EMIM^＋, CuCl2^-, Cu2Cl3^-, and CuCl3^2- have been comparatively studied. The calculated results showed that EMIM^＋-CuCl2^- pair conformer of lowest energy was five ring parallel to Cl-Cu-Cl with 3.2A distance, EMIM^＋-CuCl3^2- pair conformer of lowest energy was five ring parallel to CuCl3^2-plane with 3.4A distance, and the optimized EMIM^＋-Cu2Cl3^- pair conformer of lowest energy was five ring perpendicular to Cl-Cu-Cl-Cu-Cl plane with 3.0A distance between the terminal Cl atoms and the 5-ring of EMIM^＋. The cohesion between cations and anions is brought about by C-H. C1 hydrogen bonds that are reinforced by charge assistance. The frequency analyses suggested that all stationary points are minimum because of no appearing of imaginary frequency. The assigned frequencies were in agreement with the experimental report. The low energy of interaction because of the bulkyasymmetry of EMIM＋ and the charge dispersion of cation and anion leads to the low melting point of the ionic liquids, EMIM^＋-CuCl2^-, EMIM^＋-Cu2Cl3^-, and EMIM^＋-CuCl3^2-. The interaction energy of EMIM^＋-CuCl2^-, EMIM^＋-Cu2Cl3^-, and EMIM^＋-CuCl3^2- is 309.0 kJ/mol, 316.8 kJ/mol, and 320.2 kJ/mol, respectively. The relationship of interaction energy via distance between cations and anions was also investigated by single point energy scan.

DFT Studies on the Isomerization of Butene Double Bond Catalyzed by 1-Butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium in Ionic Liquid

The geometries of reactant, product and transition state of the title reaction have been optimized by using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and B3LYP/6- 311++G(d,p) levels. The variations of the bond parameters in the course of reaction were analyzed. The zero point energy corrections were performed by vibrational analysis. The equilibrium states and the transition state were verified according to the number of virtue frequency of geometry. The intrinsic reaction coordinates (IRC) were calculated from the transition state. The calculated results show that the double bond rearrangement of butene catalyzed by 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium cation is a one-step reaction. The forward energy barrier of isomerization from 1-butene to 2- butene is about 193 kJ·mol-1 and the reverse energy barrier about 209 kJ·mol-1 at the B3LYP/6- 31G(d,p) level, which means that the reaction is easy to proceed at or above room temperature.

Hydrogen bond promoted thermal stability enhancement of acetate based ionic liquid

Acetate-based imidazolium ionic liquids(ILs)are of great importance and widely applied in biomass processing and engineering but under stability issue due to the structure self–rearrangement induced by C2–H deprotonation,by which the IL based biomass processing will be challenging.Herein,we demonstrated that the thermal stability of normal acetate-based imidazolim[C8C1Im][OAc]could be significantly improved by changing its cation and anion environment with the presence of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide IL([C4C1Im][NTf2]).When the molar fraction of[C8C1Im][OAc]was 0.3,the thermal stability of[C8C1Im][OAc]could be significantly improved(ΔT5%dec=+43°C).Detailed information obtained from thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA)and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)revealed that the addition of[C4C1 Im][NTf2]played a significant role in enhancing the thermal stability of[C8C1Im][OAc].It was proposed that the formation of an anion–π+structure network between[C8C1 Im][OAc]and[C4C1Im][NTf2]via strong hydrogen bond interactions greatly affects the environment of hydrogen atom in the imidazolium ring of each IL.

Highly efficient [C8mim][Cl] ionic liquid accompanied with magnetite nanoparticles and different salts for interfacial tension reduction

The 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [C8 mim][Cl] ionic liquid(IL) was used as a novel surfactant in n-heptane/water system. The interfacial tensions(IFT) were measured and corresponding variations were investigated. An IFT reduction of 80.8% was appropriate under the IL CMC of about 0.1 mol·L^-1 and stronger effects were achieved when magnetite nanoparticles and salts were present profoundly under alkaline p Hs.The equilibrium IFT data were accurately simulated with the Frumkin adsorption model. Hereafter, the saturated surface concentration, equilibrium constant and interaction parameter were obtained and their variations were demonstrated. Further, emulsion stability and contact angle of oil/water interface over quartz surface were studied. The oil/water emulsion stability was hardly changed with nanoparticles;however, the stability of oil/water + IL emulsions was significantly improved. It was also revealed that the presence of sodium and calcium chloride electrolytes fortifies the IL impact, whereas sodium sulfate weakens. From dynamic IFT data and fitting with kinetic models, it was found that the IL migration toward interface follows the mixed diffusion–kinetic control model. Consequently, the IL diffusion coefficient and the appropriate activation energy were determined.

Silica-grafted N-propyl-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Sipim]HSO4) is employed as a recyclable heterogeneous ionic liquid catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrano[c]-chromenes by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin at 100°C under solvent-free conditions. Also, heterogeneous ionic liquid catalyst was used for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]-pyrazoles by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and 3-methyl-l-phenyl-5-pyrazolone at 110°C under solvent-free conditions. The heterogeneous ionic liquid showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.

Electrochemical extraction of lead from urea-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium fluoride system containing PbO at 353 K

To electrochemically extract Pb from PbO at room temperature, a new electrolyte, urea-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium fluoride(urea-[EMIM]F), was synthesized to dissolve PbO. Afterwards, the electrochemical behavior of Pb in this electrolyte was studied. The density, viscosity and conductivity of this electrolyte were investigated before electroextraction. The electrochemical behavior of Pb in the urea-[EMIM]F system was recorded via cyclic voltammograms, chronoamperometry and potentiostatic electrolysis. The results illustrate that Pb can be electrochemically extracted from PbO in this system at room temperature and that Pb reduction involves a quasireversible process and follows a one-step and two-electron transfer process. The reduction of Pb proceeds with a three-dimensional(3 D) progressive model. With an increase in temperature, the onset potentials for Pb reduction shift anodically. The diffusion coefficient of Pb(II) is determined to be 6.88×10-10 cm2/s at 353 K. Additionally, spherical Pb particles are obtained after electrodeposition in the urea-[EMIM]F system via potentiostatic electrolysis.

Microscopic structures of ionic liquids 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate in water probed by the relative chemical shift

The relative chemical shifts (△δ) △δwere put forward to investigate the microscopic structure of 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EmimBF4) during the dilution process with water.The concentration-dependent △δ(C2)H-(C4)H,△δ(C2)H-(C5)H and △δ(C4)H-(C5)H were analyzed.The results reveal that the variations of the microscopic structures of three aromatic protons are inconsistent.The strength of the H-bond between water and three aromatic protons follows the order:(C2)H···O 】 (C4)H···O 】 (C5)H···O.The concentration-dependent △δ(C6)H-(C7)H and △δ(C6)H-(C8)H indicate the formation of the H-bonds of (Calkyl)H···O is impossible,and more water is located around (C6)H than around (C7)H or (C8)H.The concentration-dependent △δ(C2)H-(C4)H and △δ(C2)H-(C5)H both increase rapidly when xwater 】 0.9 or so,suggesting the ionic pairs of EmimBF4 are dissociated rapidly.The turning points of concentration-dependent △δ(C2)H-(C4)H and △δ(C2)H-(C5)H indicate that some physical properties of the EmimBF4/water mixtures also change at the corresponding concentration point.The microscopic structures of EmimBF4 in water could be clearly detected by the relative chemical shifts.

Pulse radiolysis studies of functionally substituted imidazolium-based ionic liquids

The reactions of imidazolium-based ionic liquids having different substituent groups on the ring with hydrated electrons (eaq-),hydroxyl radicals (·OH),and sulfate anion radicals (SO4·-) were investigated using nanosecond pulse radiolysis techniques.The spectra of these ionic liquids on reaction with eaq-all exhibited a similar peak at about 320 nm,and a typical peak for eaq-in aqueous ionic liquid solutions.The reaction rate constants for 1,3-disubstituted imidazolium-based ionic liquid hexafluorophosphates (BMIPF 6) with eaq-were deduced to be 10 10 L mol-1s-1,however the values were lower for trisubstituted ionic liquids.For example,the rate constant for 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMMIBF 4) was 5.5×10 9 L mol-1s-1.Imidazolium-based ionic liquids reacted with hydroxyl radicals via adducts to produce a mixture of isomeric OH adducts,and the pk a value of the OH adducts was deduced to be 8.4±0.4 for 1-butyl-3-methylimdazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIBF 4).Moreover,imidazolium cations were also oxidized by SO4·-to produce bivalent cation radicals,which exhibit a peak at 320 nm,and these rate constants are of the same order of magnitude,i.e.,10 9 L mol-1s-1,except that for 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimdazolium tetrafluoroborate with SO4·-(k=2.8×10 8 L mol-1 s-1).Theoretical calculations were carried out to estimate the structures of the products of reduction by eaq- and the results were related to the experimental data.

Imidazolium ionic liquid as the background ultraviolet absorption reagent for determination of morpholinium cations by high performance liquid chromatography-indirect ultraviolet detection

A novel analytical method was developed for determining morpholinium cations lacking ultraviolet absorption groups.This determination was carried out by high performance liquid chromatographyindirect ultraviolet（HPLC-1UV） detection using imidazolium ionic liquid as background absorption reagents,and imidazolium ionic liquid aq.soln.-organic solvent as mobile phase by a reversed-phase C18 column.The background ultraviolet absorption reagents,imidazolium ionic liquids and organic solvents were investigated.The imidazolium ionic liquid in the mobile phase is not only the background ultraviolet absorption reagent for IUV,but also an active component to improve the separation of morpholinium cations.It was found that morpholinium cations could be adequately determined when0.5 mmol/L 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate aq.soln./methanol（80：20,v/v） was used as mobile phase with an IUV detection wavelength of 210 nm.In this study,the baseline separation of Nmethyl,ethylmorpholinium cations（MEMo） and N-methyl.propylmorpholinium cations（MPMo） was successfully achieved in 8.5 min.The detection limits（S/N = 3） for MEMo and MPMo were 0.15 and0.29 mg/L,respectively.This simple and practical method has been successfully applied to the determination of two morpholinium ionic liquids synthesized by the chemistry laboratory.

Anodic behavior of neodymium in acidic AlCl_3-1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride ionic liquid

The anodic behavior of neodymium in acidic AlCl3-1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride （AIC13-EMIC） ionic liquid was investigated by conducting linear sweep voltammeter and chonopotentiometry. The viscosity of Nd dissolved ionic liquid and the surface morphologies of Nd were characterized using an Ostwald viscometer and a scanning electron microscope, respectively. The chemical composition of Nd surface was indentified by Raman spectra. The results showed that dissolution of Nd under anodic polarization occurred after the breakdown of oxide films. A viscous layer formed at the interface of Nd/ionic liquid during the galvanostatic process of 5 and 20 mA/cm^2. The formation of viscous layer was attributed to the accumulation of Nd dissolved AlCl3-EMIC ionic liquid, which had high viscosity. The oxide films could be removed thoroughly and the surface of Nd was homogeneous without etching pits, when viscous layer formed in the anodic process. Otherwise, the surface showed a pitting morphology.
