“…1 The wide range of anion and cation families available for the synthesis of the IL determine the various properties of the molten salt and enable the formulation of an enormous variety of RTILs. 2 Over the past years, the research focused on the RTILs have gained more and more attention, mainly thanks to their unique characteristics, which includes tunable properties, such as high ionic conductivity, low volatility (and thus, reduced flammability), and high electrochemical and chemical stabilities. These properties position the RTILs as promising candidates to serve in different applications ranging from the food industry to green chemistry, catalysis, phase separations, electrochemistry, and nanotechnologies.…”
