Ionic liquids (ILs) are an emerging group of chems. which, with their tunable physicochem. properties, exhibit promise for use as novel materials in many applications. Thermal (e.g. solar) energy storage (TES) is one such area where they show potential to be thermally stable at high temperatures and store high amount of heat energy. A large number of ILs, through the combination of different cations and anions, can be potentially synthesized thereby presenting a good platform for design. However, since it is not possible to study this large number of compounds exptl. it is necessary to use computational methods to evaluate them. In this article, we present a computer-aided framework to design task-specific ionic liquids (ILs), using structure-property models and optimization methods. Thermal energy storage d. (capacity) was used as a measure of the ability of an IL to store thermal (solar) energy. An hydroxyl functionalized imidazolium-based IL, [3-hydroxy-imidazolium]+[BF4] –, was found to be the optimal candidate with highest thermal energy storage capacity along with appropriate m.p. and decomposition temperature In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Pyridinehydrochloride (cas: 628-13-7Formula: C5H6ClN).
Pyridinehydrochloride (cas: 628-13-7) belongs to pyridine derivatives. The pyridine ring occurs in many important compounds, including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and vitamins. Halopyridines are particularly attractive synthetic building blocks in a variety of cross-coupling methods, including the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.Formula: C5H6ClN
