“…The low interfacial tension of RTILs gives rise to high nucleation rates, thus enabling generation of small nanoparticles [43]. For these reasons, similar to our previous works [44][45][46], size of the Zn 0.2 Cd 0.8 S nanoparticles prepared in aqueous solution of the RTIL is lower than the prepared sample in water.…”

“…With the exclusion of water hydrogen evolution would not be anticipated. However, to date they have not been widely adopted for industrial applications, mainly due to the high cost (10)(11)(12)(13)(14) although it is countered that prices are falling due to increased demand (15). An alternative class of less expensive materials, already available on multi-tonne scale, based on combinations of choline chloride (2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium chloride) with hydrogenbond forming compounds, such as urea or ethylene glycol (EG), have recently been investigated by Abbott et al (16)(17)(18)(19)(20).…”

This work is an initial study of the zinc deposition process from a Lewis-basic choline chloride/ ethylene glycol deep eutectic solvent containing ZnCl 2 at 30°C. The system was examined by cyclic voltammetry at static and rotating glassy carbon disc electrodes and by potential step techniques. Although there was little deposition initially on sweeping or stepping the potential to -0.5 to -0.8 V vs. Zn/Zn(II) more rapid deposition was observed when the potential was raised to -0.4 to -0.2 V. The role of choline chloride was also examined by comparison with a choline-free electrolyte, which exhibited a more conventional voltammetric response. A tentative suggestion has been proposed to account for the observed deposition behaviour.

“…In continuation of our investigations into nanomaterial preparation [40][41][42][43][44] and RTILs [45][46][47][48][49], MARTIL method was applied for the preparation of ZnO nanocrystallines in the presence of an RTIL. For the above mentioned reasons, halide-free RTIL, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate ([EMIM][EtSO 4 ]) was used in this work [50].…”

Fast, simple and template-free method is proposed for preparation of ZnO nanocrystallines in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate, [EMIM][EtSO 4 ], a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) under microwave irradiation. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies display that products are excellently crystallized in the form of wurtzite hexagonal structure. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) investigations reveal that the products are extremely pure. The results obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrate that mean size of ZnO nanocrystallines decreases with microwave irradiation time and the RTIL content of media. Diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) of the ZnO nanocrystallines shows blue shift relative to the bulk ZnO, which can be attributed to quantum confinement effect of ZnO nanocrystallines. A possible formation mechanism of the ZnO nanocrystallines in aqueous solution of the RTIL is presented. Photocatalytic activity of the ZnO nanocrystallines towards photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) was carried out. The results demonstrate that photocatalytic activity of the ZnO nanocrystallines increases with microwave irradiation time and the RTIL content of media.
