Time: 2025-5-23 10:33:35 Readed: 30Times

Product Name:

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF₆])

CAS Number:

174501-64-5

Molecular Formula:

C₈H₁₅N₂��PF₆

Appearance:

Colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid

Purity:

��98% (HPLC)

Key Properties:

• Hydrophobic ionic liquid with high chemical and thermal stability.

• Low melting point (<−10��C), liquid at room temperature.

• Wide electrochemical window (~4.5 V), suitable for electrochemical applications.

• Low volatility and non-flammable (negligible vapor pressure).

• Good solubility in organic solvents (e.g., acetonitrile, dichloromethane) but immiscible with water.

Applications:

1. Electrochemistry:

   • Electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

2. Green Chemistry:

   • Alternative solvent for catalysis, organic synthesis, and nanoparticle preparation.

3. Extraction & Separation:

   • Liquid-liquid extraction of metals, biomolecules, or pollutants.

4. Material Science:

   • Lubricant, plasticizer, or functional additive in advanced materials.

Safety & Handling:

• Stable under inert conditions but may decompose at high temperatures (>300��C).

• Moisture-sensitive: Store under dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., N₂ or Ar).

• Hydrolysis risk: Avoid strong acids/water at elevated temperatures (may release HF).

• PPE recommended: Gloves and goggles for handling.

Packaging Options:

Available in 5g, 10g, 50g, 100g, 1kg, or custom quantities. Packed in sealed glass bottles or plastic containers.

Storage Conditions:

Store at 2�C8��C in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture.
