This chapter includes some basic concepts and the most recent advancements of ionic liquids in the electrochemical field are briefly discussed. Although ionic liquids are known by only a few scientists and engineers, their potential applications in future technologies is unlimited and holds great promise. Electrochemistry has become a large field covering several key ideas such as energy, environment, nanotechnology, and analysis. It is hoped that the contributions on ionic liquids in this book chapter will stimulate new insight in the sensory field as well. The applications of ionic liquids in this chapter have been narrowed to the latest results of electrochemistry, especially focused on electrochemical and biosensors and its application in identifying the bioactive compounds, metal detections and food supplements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
