Abstract

One of the numerous features of ionic liqids (ILs) is their suitability for electrochemical deposition; they are an environmentally friendly alternative for silver electrodeposition. This is directly linked to the synergetic effect of ionic liquids and metals.

Consequently a challenge concerns the study of the possible formation of metal - ionic liquid composite adapting the method developed by Avnir and co-workers for organic molecules entrapment within metal matrixes. This could be a unique way to investigate further the formation mechanism of the metal - organic compounds and could open new applications linked to the ionic liquids.

Moreover the physico-chemical properties of entrapped ionic liquids were already revealed as being original and depending on the entrapment parameters, namely pore diameter etc.

We will present the characterization of the synthesized metal - ionic liquid composite material, by determining the ionic liquid entrapment percentage within the matrix and the thermal stability of the compound. Dynamic scanning calorimetric experiments are comparing physico-chemical values of genuine ionic liquid and the composite compound.
