Molecules 2024; 29:5227. [PMID: 39598616 PMCID: PMC11596503 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29225227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2024] [Revised: 10/15/2024] [Accepted: 10/30/2024] [Indexed: 11/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Ionic liquids, which are widely recognized as environmentally friendly solvents, stand out as promising alternatives to traditional heat-transfer fluids due to their outstanding heat-storage and heat-transfer capabilities. In the course of our ongoing research, we successfully synthesized ionic liquids 1-ethyl-4-alkyl-1,2,4-triazolium alanine [Taz(2,n)][Ala], where (n = 4, 5); in this study, we present comprehensive data on their density, surface tension, isobaric molar heat capacity, and thermal conductivity for the first time. The key thermophysical parameters influencing the heat-transfer process, such as thermal expansibility, compressibility, isochoric heat capacity, and heat-storage density, were meticulously calculated from experimental data. Upon comparison with previously reported ionic liquids and commercially utilized heat-transfer fluids, [Taz(2,n)][Ala] demonstrated superior heat-storage and heat-transfer performance, particularly in terms of heat-storage density (~2.63 MJ·m-3·K-1), thermal conductivity (~0.190 W·m-1·K-1), and melting temperature (~226 K). Additionally, the presence of the alanine anion in [Taz(2,n)][Ala] provides more possibilities for its functional application.

Novel application for graphene oxide-based ionanofluids in flat plate solar thermal collectors. Sci Rep 2024; 14:17610. [PMID: 39080327 PMCID: PMC11289408 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-67874-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
This study presents new ionanofluids (INF) composed of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ionic liquid (IL) and graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles which have been assessed for the first time in an experimental flat plate solar thermal collector (FPSC). For this purpose, four types of INFs were synthesized, maintaining a constant concentration of GO nanoparticles dispersed in different base fluids: ionic liquid (IL/GO), a mixture of ionic liquid and water in varying concentrations (IL-water (75-25)%/GO and IL-water (50-50)%/GO), and water (Water/GO). These four INFs were characterized and their thermophysical and physicochemical properties were determined. The results indicated a 37.4% improvement in efficiency and up to a 2.5-fold increase in temperature within the collector when the IL was applied exclusively as the base fluid, compared to water. Furthermore, IL/GO demonstrated excellent stability, showing no signs of deterioration or nanoparticle precipitation two years after preparation and testing. These findings suggest that INFs based on IL and GO nanoparticles significantly enhance the efficiency of FPSC, presenting a promising option for solar energy applications and opening a new research avenue for INFs in the production of domestic hot water.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) consisting entirely of ions exhibit many fascinating and tunable properties, making them promising functional materials for a large number of energy-related applications. For example, ILs have been employed as electrolytes for electrochemical energy storage and conversion, as heat transfer fluids and phase-change materials for thermal energy transfer and storage, as solvents and/or catalysts for CO2 capture, CO2 conversion, biomass treatment and biofuel extraction, and as high-energy propellants for aerospace applications. This paper provides an extensive overview on the various energy applications of ILs and offers some thinking and viewpoints on the current challenges and emerging opportunities in each area. The basic fundamentals (structures and properties) of ILs are first introduced. Then, motivations and successful applications of ILs in the energy field are concisely outlined. Later, a detailed review of recent representative works in each area is provided. For each application, the role of ILs and their associated benefits are elaborated. Research trends and insights into the selection of ILs to achieve improved performance are analyzed as well. Challenges and future opportunities are pointed out before the paper is concluded.
