Abstract

An electronically polarizable model has been developed for the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate (EMIM+/NO3-), Molecular dynamics simulation studies were then performed on both the polarizable and nonpolarizable versions of the model. Comparisons of shear viscosity and diffusion constants at 400 K show that the effects of polarizability are quite substantial and the polarizable model results are in better agreement with the experimental values.
