Behaviour of Ternary Mixtures of Hydrogen Bond Acceptors and Donors in Terms of Band Gap Energies / A. Mannu, F. Cardano, S. Baldino, A. Fin. - In: MATERIALS. - ISSN 1996-1944. - 14:12(2021 Jun 20), pp. 3418.1-3418.8. [10.3390/ma14123418]
Abstract:
Three ternary mixtures composed by choline chloride (ChCl), ethylene glycol (EG), and a second hydrogen bond donor (HBD) as ethanol (A), 2-propanol (B), and glycerol (C) were studied in terms of composition related to the band gap energy (BGE). A Design of Experiments (DoE) approach, and in particular a Simple Lattice three-components design, was employed for determining the variation of the BGE upon the composition of each system. UV-VIS analysis and subsequent Tauc plot methodology provided the data requested from the DoE, and multivariate statistical analysis revealed a drop of the BGE in correspondence to specific binary compositions for systems A and B. In particular, a BGE of 3.85 eV was registered for the mixtures ChCl/EtOH (1:1) and ChCl/2-propanol (1:1), which represents one of the lowest values ever observed for these systems.
