“…The use of ILs and PILs for obtaining gas/liquid selective composite materials has already proven to be a feasible approach. The sum of their properties, i.e., thermal/chemical stability, low melting point, negligible vapor pressure and multiple bonding capacity, allows creating materials with permanent highly interactive liquid interphases, which can selectively interact with different gases/liquids depending on the IL's chemical structure [129,130] (Figure 9). This allowed preparing, e.g., IL-silica membrane, using a silylated IL, with superior separation factor of toluene/H 2 (>17,000) [131]; IL/PIL-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that allow olefin/paraffin separation [132], in situ transform dienes into monoenes [133] or sense and actuate when in the presence of NH 3 [134]; or even a vast number of different supported-IL membranes, polymer/IL composite membranes, gelled IL membranes and PILs-based membranes for CO 2 separation [135].…”
