ABSTRACT
The ionic liquids (ILs) are well known as “designer solvent” for their ability to fine-tune physicochemical properties by simply exchanging cation or anion without altering its chemical nature. Mixing of two simple ILs together results into IL mixtures are named “double-salt ionic liquids” (DSILs) or “mixed ionic liquids” in literature defined as a homogeneous liquid at room temperature having two or more than two different ions. DSILs provide new opportunity to fine-tune physicochemical properties using proper combination of cation-anion. Depending upon the nature of ions present in DSILs, their physicochemical properties are slightly different than simple ILs, which exhibits ideal to nonideal mixing behavior. Specially, nonideal mixing behavior of DSILs seems to be advantageous for further advancement in the field of ILs which is reported and analyzed here for new DSILs.
