Abstract

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have many advantages, making them a promising alternative in replacing ionic liquids and organic solvents. Besides, DESs have received much prominence due to their diverse applications: Electrodeposition of metals, organic synthesis, gas adsorption, and biodiesel production. Therefore, this work analyzed the effect of the temperature increase (298 K–353 K) on the behavior of the Co2+ ions in three eutectic solvents through electrochemical techniques and computational simulations. From the electrochemical analysis realized, the increase in temperature caused a reduction in specific mass and an increase in the diffusion coefficient. Besides, the activation energy values were of 15.3, 29.9, and 55.2 kJ mol−1 for 1ChCl:2 EG, 1ChCl:2U, and 1ChCl:2G, respectively. The computational simulations indicate that the increased temperature effect caused the replacement of HBD molecules by anions chloride around Co2+ ions for the SDW1 and SDW3 systems between the temperatures of 298 K–353 K, except for the SDW2 system that the replaced occurred in the interval of 313 K–353 K. Besides, the increase of temperature occasioned the increase of strength for Co–Cl interaction and weakened the interactions between the Co2+ ions with the oxygen of HBD molecules.
