Abstract
[Emim]Br ionic liquid was confined in porous SiO2 nanoparticles. It is shown that the confinement in the nanopores leads to a compression of molecular size and an increase in the melting point. The pore size of SiO 2 is a key factor in tuning the anion-cation distance and the melting point of the confined ionic liquids.
