Recent advances in the synthesis and applications of metal organic frameworks doped with ionic liquids for CO 2 adsorption

The role of ionic liquids in the synthesis of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−δ

“…Ionic liquids have been shown to be a system which has the capability to synthesize a plethora of different inorganic compounds. [3][4][5] Mechanistically, this method relies on the ability of ionic liquids to solvate metal cations and act as chelating agents, subsequently producing a gel with the additional use of an organic source such as a polysaccharide, in order to create phase-pure complex functional materials. [6][7] In general terms an ionic liquid (IL) is a non-conventional molten salt usually composed of large organic cations and smaller organic or inorganic anions.…”

Superionic Conduction over a Wide Temperature Range in a Metal–Organic Framework Impregnated with Ionic Liquids

“…[8,9] Most recently,h ybrid materials,where ILs are incorporated into porous solids,have attracted huge interest because of their promising applications in solvent-free devices capable of preventing liquid leakage. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, the ionic conductivity (s)o ft hese hybrid materials has been lower than 10 À3 Scm À1 ,w hich is comparable to that of typical liquid electrolytes and is considered as ab enchmark for electrochemical applications, [17] mainly due to the Coulombic interactions between ions of ILs and frameworks. [18][19][20][21][22][23] Theoretical studies predicted that ILs in porous materials preferentially construct an interface region with at hickness of about 1nmo nt he framework surface ( Figure 1).…”

Metal‐Organic Framework Nanocrystals

“…Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted considerable attention in the synthesis of MOFs for more than one decade and have been used as solvents, framework structure component, modulators or adsorption‐enhancement agents . The increased interest in the use of ionic liquids is mainly attributed to the unique and interesting properties of these compounds.…”
