The Electrochemical Investigation of MEH-PPV in Ionic Liquid

Ionic liquids are a new kind of room-temperature molten organic salts. It can be used as solvents in the organic/polymeric syntheses, and some of them are called "green" solvents because of its recyclability1. Ionic liquids possess the superior properties, such as thermal stability up to 200(C, involatility and re-designability(for both cation and anion). The ionic liquid employed in this work is [bmim] [PF6]- ( butylmethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ) which is immiscible with water and h…
