Abstract

Imidazole ionic liquids (ILs) have broad application prospects in batteries and other fields. Researching the thermal decomposition features of ILs holds paramount importance for the application in battery electrolyte. 1-allyl-3-methylimidazole nitrate ionic liquid (IL) as a new functional IL, and its related thermal decomposition properties are unknown. In this paper, the thermal decomposition peculiarities of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazole nitrate IL were systematically analyzed by thermogravimetric analyzer, differential scanning calorimetry, and accelerating rate calorimeter techniques, and the relevant thermodynamic parameters and thermal decomposition models were derived. In addition, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazole nitrate IL possesses strong thermal runaway characteristics and the risk of thermal runaway is also evaluated. The main gaseous products formed by the pyrolysis of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazole nitrate IL was detected and analyzed by thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric-photoionization mass spectrometry techniques. The results showed that flammable gas, toxic gas, and asphyxiating gas are formed during the pyrolysis of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazole nitrate IL. This study lays a theoretical foundation for the safe application and the formulation of corresponding safety protection measures of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazole nitrate IL.
