Abstract
⺠The effect of gamma-irradiation of IL either in contact with water or with gas was studied by conductivity measurements and Raman spectroscopy. ⺠In the IL-water biphasic systems, γ-irradiation does not significantly induce chemical decomposition of the IL molecules into smaller products. ⺠Radiation increases the IL cation and anion interfacial transfer rates and accelerates micelle formation. ⺠This work is the first to observe radiation-induced IL-water phase mixing. ⺠A mechanism is proposed, showing that γ-radiation affects the potential gradient at the interface, increasing interfacial charge transfer.
