Low melting Li/K/Cs acetate salt mixtures as new ionic media for catalytic applications - first physico-chemical characterization

In order to expand the temperature limits of Supported Ionic Liquid Phase (SILP) or Solid Catalyst with Ionic Liquid Layer (SCILL) systems to higher operation temperatures, the mixture of lithium acetate, potassium acetate, and caesium acetate (molar ratio of 0.2/0.275/0.525) has been studied in detail. Physico-chemical properties of the bulk melt are reported together with stability data of the modern salt on various solid support materials showing attractive properties for many potential high temperature applications.
