In situ Raman and synchrotron X-ray diffraction study on crystallization of Choline chloride/Urea deep eutectic solvent under high pressure
Pressure-induced crystallization of Choline chloride/Urea (ChCl/Urea) deep eutectic solvent (DES) has been investigated by in-situ Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The results indicated that high pressure crystals appeared at around 2.6 GPa, and the crystalline structure was different from that formed at ambient pressure. Upon increasing the pressure, the N-H stretching modes of Urea underwent dramatic change after liquid-solid transition. It appears that high pressures may enhance the hydrogen bonds formed between ChCl and Urea. P versus T phase diagram of ChCl/Urea DES was constructed, and the crystallization mechanism of ChCl/Urea DES was discussed in view of hydrogen bonds. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
