Evaluating thermal decomposition of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents for reliable and consistent thermal analysis: Issues, factors, classifications and suggestions

Natural Biomass Soups (NBSs): New Green Solvents Replacing Ionic Liquids and Deep Eutectic Solvents for Lithium-Ion Batteries Recovery

“…Specifically, the mass of NBSs could change from 100% to 95.7% after exposure to air for 8 h. On the contrary, most of ILs and DESs are hygroscopic; the mass of ILs and DESs would increase in the air. , For example, the mass of ChCl-based DESs could increase to 1022–108% after exposure to the air for 8 h due to the water absorption form air . Nevertheless, DESs and ILs are also volatile at high temperature or even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, − which is similar to the evaporation of NBSs in the air in this work. It should be noted that the evaporated component from NBSs is water; therefore, NBSs are still green and sustainable in spite of their high volatility.…”

A new ligand-regulated strategy of highly mesoporous metal–organic frameworks assembled in ionic liquid/ethanol solvent

“…Ionic liquids (ILs) are composed entirely of cations and anions, and have tunable properties and structures by changing the polar–nonpolar and hydrophilic–hydrophobic interactions. 1,2 ILs are widely used in material synthesis because of their good thermal stability and volatility 3–5. ILs with specified structures can aggregate or assemble in solutions, and can act as templates for materials synthesis.…”
