“…imidazolium, pyridinium, peperidinum, pyrrolidinium, morpholinium, ammonium, phosphonium, sulphonium, and oxonium) with anions (e.g., Cl – , Br – , NO 3 – , PF 6 – , BF 4 – , AlCl 4 – , ClO 4 – , trifluoromethylacetate, dicynamide, bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, trifluoromethylsulfonate etc.) may exceed 10 18 . , It is worth noting that the majority of the ILs reported in the literature are N + -based salts. The development of O + -ILs has lagged significantly behind, owing to the instability of oxonium salts which, are commonly recognized as reaction intermediates. , The applications of ILs can be widely expanded via introduction of IL motifs along or pendant to polymer backbones, forming polymeric ILs (PILs). − The PILs are found to have enhanced mechanical and electrochemical stability in comparison with their monomers .…”
