Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for generating oxygen, comprising providing at least one oxygen source, providing at least one ionic liquid, the ionic liquid comprising a cation and an anion, wherein the oxygen source is a hydrogen peroxide adduct compound which is at least partially soluble in the ionic liquid, the ionic liquid is in the liquid state at least in a temperature range from −10° C. to +50° C., and the anion is selected from metallate anions, and contacting the oxygen source and the ionic liquid.
Claims19
A method for generating oxygen, comprising
- providing at least one oxygen source,
- providing at least one ionic liquid, the ionic liquid comprising a cation and an anion,
- wherein the oxygen source is a peroxide compound, the ionic liquid is in the liquid state at least in a temperature range from −10° C. to +50° C., and the anion is selected from metallate anions, and
- contacting the oxygen source and the ionic liquid.
A use of an ionic liquid comprising a cation and an anion, wherein the anion is selected from metallate anions, as an initiator of a decomposition reaction of a peroxide compound, and as a heat sink for dissipating the reaction heat.
