The viscosity and electrical conductivity of Betaine·HCl-6EG-nNiCl2·6H2O deep eutectic ionic liquids
formed by adding nickel(Ⅱ) chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2·6H2O) into a deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of Betaine hydrochloride (Betaine·HCl) and Ethylene glycol (EG) in 1:6 molar ratio
were reported at 303—353 K and 303—348 K with an interval of 5 K under atmospheric pressure. The viscosity and electrical conductivity associated with temperature and NiCl2·6H2O concentration were investigated
respectively. The results revealed that within the selected temperature and NiCl2·6H2O concentration ranges
Betaine·HCl-6EG-nNiCl2·6H2O deep eutectic ionic liquids showed low viscosities and good electrical conductivities. With increasing temperature
the viscosities decreased and electrical conductivities increased. The effect of temperature was more significant on viscosity than on electrical conductivity. The dependence of temperature of viscosity and electrical conductivity was found to be greatly described by Arrhenius empirical expressions. According to these expressions
the activation energies for viscous flow and conduction were calculated. With increasing NiCl2·6H2O concentration
the values of the activation energies for viscous flow and conduction increased. Because of the adding NiCl2·6H2O
the formations of the larger size complex ions reduced the concentrations of the effective conductive ions and increased the ionic radius
resulting in increasing viscosity and decreasing electrical conductivity.
