AbstractSolvent properties of ionic liquids with trihexyltetradecylphosphonium cation and bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinate anion (Cyphos IL-104) or chloride anion (Cyphos IL-101) were studied. IL-104 effectively extracted lactic acid (LA) with distribution coefficients above 40 at low acid concentrations. IL-104 extracted only undissociated acid (LAH) what supported the coordination mechanism of lactic acid extraction via H-bonding. In the extraction of lactic acid by phosphonium chloride (IL-101) an ion-exchange mechanism contributed remarkably to the extraction especially at basic pH where anionic form of this acid predominated. A high solubility of water in hydrophobic IL-104 up to 14.4 mass % was connected with the formation of reverse micelles. A dual mechanism of water extraction to phosphonium ionic liquids was identified, which consisted of water incorporation into reverse micelles and the inclusion of water into the hydrated complex of lactic acid with ionic liquid (IL). The extraction of lactic acid caused splitting of reverse micelles with liberation of water from the solvent. In the saturated solvent only hydration water remained in the complex of lactic acid with phosphonium ionic liquid, with the suggested structure (LAH)p(IL)(H2O)2, where the value of p ranged from 1 to 3.

The electrochemical properties of ternary systems that consist of a polymer, a lithium salt, and an ionic liquid that shares the same anion (TFSI, bis(trifluoromethansulfonyl)imide) are reported and compared. The investigation involved two different polymers (PVdF-HFP and PTFE) that were selected because of their common use in lithium-based electrochemical devices. It was found that PVdF-HFP swelled by the ionic liquid used in the work while porous PTFE remained inert. The ternary electrolytes showed interesting ionic conductivities. However, the presence of fluorinated polymers resulted in poor interfacial properties with lithium metal electrodes.
