I'm using [EMIM][TFSI] in UV-linked polymer as the gate material for a photodetector. The device will be operating in the air.
In my case, 1% of water in the ionic liquid is fine, but from some resources I find the oxidation could also be a issue. Anyone has an idea of how fast the oxidation can happen to [EMIM][TFSI]?

If in your knowledge the ionic liquid is vulnerable to oxidation it means it acts as a reducing agent in itself. You can iterate it with different oxidizing agents to check for its oxidation behavior either by using a suitable indicator or by using an analytical instrument like potentiometer, coulometer, conductometer, amperometer, or polarographic analysis.
