The cations of RTILs are N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl) ammonium ([DEME]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C2mim]) and l-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Camim]), the anions are tetrafluoroborate ([BF4]) and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([TFSI]). In all pure RTILs, there are two kinds of local minima in real part of the AC impedance Zreal. By adding water to [DEME][BF4] (0 mol% 〈 x 〈 94 mol%) at room temperature, the local minimum value at higher frequency decreased remarkably at the fixed frequency with increasing water concentration. Above 94 mol% H20, a quite different profile of the AC impedance spectroscopy was obtained. In addition to Zreal. temperature dependence of an imaginary part of the impedance Zimag had an isosbestic point below 94 mol%. The isosbestic point disappeared above 94 mol%. The isosbestic point in Zing reveals an interaction between [DEME][BFa] and H2O.展开更多
