The thermal stability and decomposition kinetics analysis of 1-alkyl-2,3-dimethylimidazole nitrate ionic liquids with different alkyl chains (ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl and decyl) were investigated by using isothermal and nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis combined with thermoanalytical kinetics calculations (Kissinger, Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Isothermal experiments were performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 240, 250, 260 and 270 °C. In addition, the nonisothermal experiments were carried out in nitrogen and air atmospheres from 30 to 600 °C with heating rates of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 °C/min. The results of two heating modes, three activation energy calculations and density functional theory calculations consistently showed that the thermal stability of 1-alkyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium nitrate ionic liquids decreases with the increasing length of the alkyl chain of the substituent on the cation, and then the thermal hazard increases. This study could provide some guidance for the safety design and use of imidazolium nitrate ionic liquids for engineering.

The absorptions of CO2on the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Bmi [Ac]) with different substituents are calculated systematically at GGA/PW91 level. Three hydrogen bonds are formed between [A and cations of 1-n-[Bmi [A ([NBmi+) and 1-tert-[Bmi [A ([TBmi+). The interaction between CO2and the [NBmi [A by a C-O bond is much weaker than that with the [TBmi [A by forming a O...O...C...C four member-ring. The chemisorption of CO2on the ion pairs of [NBmi [A is much weaker than that on the [TBmi [A, resulted from the absorption energies analysis. The frontier molecular orbitals shows the electronic density overlap between absorbed CO2and the [A in CO2-[NBmi [A is much weaker than that in [TBmi [A. Therefore, the chemisorption of CO2on the ion pair of [NBmi [A is much weaker than that on the [TBmi [A. The ionic liquids based [NBmi+can be used repetitively, and the adsorbed CO2would be easier desorbed.
