RESUMO

To understand the behavior of ionic liquids (ILs) at carbon material, i.e., carbon nanotube (CNT)-containing pores, we simulated different systems and analyzed their structural─in particular their coordination─behavior as well as their velocity distribution. The extension of our analysis tool CONAN presented here allowed us to study the coordination behavior as a function of the distance to the carbon material. Our systems were composed of three different CNTs combined with either the neat IL 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate or with their NaBF4 salt mixtures. We investigated the impact of the force field charge scaling. As previously detected, the neat IL assumed radial layers within the confinement, with the radial density distribution depending strongly on the pore size. For the salt mixtures, the sodium cation remained in the bulk and was observed only once inside a tube. In all systems, the ions showed an overall decreased coordination behavior for regions in the bulk phase close to the carbon pore and within the confinement. The coordination number was always reduced with scaled charges. For charge scaling, higher dynamics was observed also in confinement. Interestingly, the average velocity of the atoms near the surface inside the confined space was higher than that in the center of the pore.

RESUMO

Modeling of complex liquids at solid surfaces and in confinement is gaining attention due to an increase in computer power and advancement of simulation techniques. Therefore, tools to set up structures and for analysis are needed. In this paper, we present CONAN─a Python code designed to facilitate the study of liquids interacting with solid structures, such as walls or pores. Among other things, the program provides the option to generate a variety of different structures, including carbon walls and nanotubes and their boron nitride analogs, as well as the ability to analyze various structural properties of confined and interfacial liquids. In the case of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate in carbon nanotubes of different sizes, we demonstrate the abilities of our tool. The average density within the confinement highly depends on the carbon nanotube size, and it is generally lower than the density of the bulk liquid. The arrangement of the individual species within the tube also depends on size, with radial layers forming within the tubular confinement. The density is largely increased in the respective layers, while it is drastically reduced between the layers.

RESUMO

Several amino-acid based imidazolium ILs are investigated through the use of ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), which includes full polarization. The electric dipole moment distribution and polarization is used as a means of characterizing and understanding these complex systems. Various charge scheme methods were analyzed (Wannier function, Blöchl, Löwdin and Mulliken charge schemes and Voronoi tessellation) to determine their ability to predict dipole moments. These results and the following comparison of methods further deepen the knowledge of polarization by highlighting the importance of the anion and cation separately on polarizability contribution and the need to select a suitable method to predict these. The angular probability distribution is utilized to measure the degree of locality in monopole-dipole electrostatic interactions, which showed no preferential alignment over 700 pm. In addition, the IR and Raman spectra from Voronoi tessellation of [C2C1Im][ala] were analyzed. In these, the strongest signalling peaks showed consistency with experiment and the ability to differentiate between anion and cation components of the IL.
