“…One of the most important applications of ILs as solvents is undoubtedly their usage in the energy storage field, because of an increasing demand for clean and sustainable energy [ 2 ]. Tuning the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity, the viscosity and the coordination properties, especially those implied by the anion, makes them suitable for hydrogen storage [ 10 ]. When combined with basic anions [ 11 ] or cations (e.g., imidazolium) ILs exert a strong effect on the hydrogen yield, showing that IL material blends are competitive with conventional hydrogen storage materials with experimental efficiencies of at least 6.5 wt% H 2 [ 12 ].…”

Composite silica xerogels were prepared via acid catalysed sol–gel route using tetraethoxysilan (TEOS) as silica precursor, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF4] or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM][Cl] ionic liquids, used simultaneously as co-solvents, catalysts and pore templates, at various IL-to-silica ratios. Morphology of the xerogels prepared using the different IL templating agents were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen sorption and small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The thermal behavior of the composites was analyzed by thermal gravimetry, whereas the compositions were checked by infrared spectroscopy and EDX. The differences in the morphology and thermal behavior of the composites due to the different IL additives were revealed.
