The physicochemical properties of a choline chloride (ChCl) and formic acid (FA) mixture (1 : 2 molar ratio) have been studied over a broad range of temperatures (−140 to 60 °C). Differential scanning calorimetry has shown that the examined system remains in the liquid state at very low temperatures – a glass transition is observed in the range of −125 °C to −90 °C. The kinematic viscosity, ionic conductivity and the width of the electrochemical window determined for this system revealed its beneficial electrochemical properties. This indicates the suitability of ChCl : FA electrolytes in electrochemical measurements. In this non-aqueous electrolyte, electrochemical reduction of Tc(VII) ions has been studied for the first time. Cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry experiments revealed that the electroreduction of pertechnetates is a multi-path process which leads to the formation of a Tc(IV) ionic form. X-Ray absorption spectroscopy of the latter revealed its structure as a TcCl62− complex.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
