General Description
1-Hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C16mimCl) is a long-chain imidazolium-based ionic liquid with notable phase-change properties, making it a promising candidate for thermal energy storage due to its high enthalpy of fusion (near or exceeding 100 J·g?1). It exhibits a lamellar double-layer structure in its crystalline state and demonstrates distinct lyotropic phase behavior, differing from conventional surfactants like CTAC, with a lower critical micellar concentration (cmc) and more exothermic micellization enthalpy. Additionally, C16mimCl serves as an effective templating agent in sol-gel processes and has been utilized in synthesizing hierarchical porous materials, highlighting its versatility in catalysis and material design. Its phase behavior and structural properties are influenced by the imidazolium head group, enabling long-range interactions and unique mesophase formation.
