Ionic Liquids in Metal, Photo-, Electro-, and (Bio) Catalysis

“…192,219,220 PILs have a variety of properties, including ionic conductivity, hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, chemical durability, and thermodynamic stability. These properties make PILs attractive for innovative applications in catalysis, 189,221 such as the generation of catalytic devices by 3D printing. 191,222…”

Another Piece of the Ionic Liquid’s Puzzle: Adsorption of Cl– Ions

“…This allows the derivation of suitable cation and anion combinations for the specific research question or possible application. , Among other excellent properties, ILs are salts with considerable liquid ranges, remarkable electrochemical stability, and low vapor pressure . At the same time, the ILs electrolyte conductivities are lower than expected due to the strong correlations between the ions, evident from the high viscosities and low diffusion coefficients. − ILs have been studied as promising electrolytes for energy conversion devices and in industrial applications as reaction media, solvents, lubricants, and performance additives. − Along with common ILs, polymerized ILs have attracted notable interest . In these ILs, the properties of IL monomers (e.g., high ionic conductivity and thermal stability) are integrated into the polymers.…”

Breakthroughs by applying polymerized ILs can be expected in biochemical and medical applications, CO 2 capture, sorption, and gas separation.…”

Synthesis of Isocyanurate-Imidazolium-Derived Flexible Ionic Porous Organic Polymers for CO2 Fixation

“…The imidazolium salts are promising active sites for CO 2 capture 22 and fixation 23 because of the synergistic catalytic effect between their electrophilic imidazolium cations and nucleophilic halide anions, as well as the high affinity with CO 2 molecules. 24 Furthermore, the structural rigidity and tunability of the imidazolium moiety could potentially facilitate the construction of the porous materials.…”
