Abstract
The electrochemical windows of the ionic liquids 1-n-butyl-3-methyl im idazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMI+)(BF4-) and 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazol ium hexafluorophosphate (BMI+)(PF6-) have been investigated at platinu m, vitreous carbon, tungsten and gold electrodes. The lowest current d ensities and widest electrochemical windows were found on tungsten and vitreous carbon 6.10 and 5.45 V for (BMI+)(BF4-) and > 7.10 and 6.35 V for (BMI+)(PF6-), respectively.
