Summary: | This work presents an in-depth kinetic thermal degradation comparison between traditional monocationic and the newly developed dicationic ionic liquid (IL), both coupled with a bromide (Br
) anion by using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis. Thermal analyses of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide [C
MPyr][Br] and 1,4-bis(1-methylpyrrolidinium-1-yl)butane dibromide [BisC
MPyr][Br
] were conducted at a temperature range of 50-650 °C and subjected to various heating rates, which are 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 °C/min. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that dicationic IL, [BisC
MPyr][Br
] is less thermally stable compared to monocationic [C
MPyr][Br]. A detailed analysis of kinetic parameters, which are the activation energy (
) and pre-exponential factor (
), was calculated by using Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Starink. This study revealed that the average
and
of [BisC
MPyr][Br
] are lower than [C
MPyr][Br], which may be contributed to by its low thermal stability. Conclusively, it proved that the
and
of ILs are strongly related to the thermal stability of ILs. |
