Application
1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide serves as a versatile ionic liquid with applications primarily in the field of organic synthesis and the chemical industry. It functions effectively as a solvent, not only facilitating the dissolution of gases like CO2 but also enabling the study of electrochemical processes, such as the reduction of oxygen through cyclic voltammetry when used with a gold microdisk electrode. Additionally, it plays a role in the electro-oxidation of hydroquinone for ammonia determination and aids in the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles in a wurtzite structure via microwave decomposition of zinc acetate dihydrate.
