Protic ionic liquids as next-generation proton exchange membrane materials: Current status & future perspectives

A 2023 update on the performance of ionic-liquid proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells

“…Their second review, on polyIL systems, online August 2021, is 29 pages long citing 285 references and again recommends more testing of polyIL-PEMs in actual fuel cells. Two other reviews on polyIL-PEMs have appeared very recently (Wong et al, 2022;Zunita et al, 2022).…”

Preparation and characterization of transparent polymeric electrolyte containing ionic liquid with long alkyl chains for electroactive polymers

“…14 However, ILs with longer alkyl chains may inhibit the actuation performance of iEAPs due to the low ion-exchange capacity 15,[21][22][23] or cations mobility. 18,24 Fabrication of transparent and high-performance iEAPs based on ILs with long alkyl chains is still an uphill struggle. 13 Adopting the single-ion controlled bending mechanism is one of the approaches to enhance the electromechanical response of iEAPs.…”

Mini-emulsions based on protic ionic liquids and oleic acid for treatment of dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis

“…Production of protic ionic liquids (PILs) is a simple, low-cost process that occurs by transferring protons from a Brønsted acid to a Brønsted base. 33,42 They stand out due to the presence of proton acceptor and donor sites that can be used to build a network of hydrogen bonds. 42 The biological activity of a variety of PILs has been shown to be potentially useful in the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds.…”
