“…These liquids exhibit large electrochemical stability, negligible vapor pressure, low flammability, and high ionic conductivity. , Due to these unique properties, the applications of ILs are ever expanding in biological sciences, − chemical processes, , batteries, and a multitude of other areas. , Moreover, by careful selection of cations and anions, a large number of ILs can be designed with tunable properties . This prompted the strategy of designing ILs appropriate for particular applications, , with this novel class of liquid being regarded as “designer solvents” . Interestingly, the structural organizations of the ILs change in the presence of low-to-moderate quantities of water ,− that enhances the applicability of the ILs manyfold. ,,, Moreover, addition of water not only reduces the viscosity of the ILs but also preserves the properties of the ILs when a requisite amount of water is added .…”
