The effect of alkali salt (NaCl, NaBr, and KCl) addition on aggregate formation of N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinium dihydrogen phosphate [NMP][H2PO4] ionic liquid in aqueous solution was determined using surface tension at 298.15K and conductance from 288.15 to 308.15K. The surface parameters such as critical aggregation concentration (CAC), adsorption efficiency, surface pressure, surface tension at CAC, minimum surface cover by a single molecule, and maximum area excess concentration were calculated from surface tension measurements with and without salts. The results show that [NMP][H2PO4] forms aggregates at lower concentrations and is more surface active than classical cationic surfactants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
