Abstract
The unique physicochemical properties, flexible structural tunability, and giant chemical space of ionic liquids (ILs) provide them a great opportunity to match different target properties to work as advanced process media. The crux of the matter is how to efficiently and reliably tailor suitable ILs toward a specific application. In this regard, the computer-aided molecular design (CAMD) approach has been widely adapted to cover this family of high-profile chemicals, that is, to perform computer-aided IL design (CAILD). This review discusses the past developments that have contributed to the state-of-the-art of CAILD and provides a perspective about how future works could pursue the acceleration of the practical application of ILs. In a broad context of CAILD, key aspects related to the forward structure-property modeling and reverse molecular design of ILs are overviewed. For the former forward task, diverse IL molecular representations, modeling algorithms, as well as representative models on physical properties, thermodynamic properties, among others of ILs are introduced. For the latter reverse task, representative works formulating different molecular design scenarios are summarized. Beyond the substantial progress made, some future perspectives to move CAILD a step forward are finally provided.

COSMO-RS guided screening of ionic liquids for the separation of fluorinated greenhouse gases R-410A: Delving into anion, cation effects, and hydrogen bond dynamics. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 239:117386. [PMID: 37839536 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
Reclamation of high-GWP near-azeotropic refrigerant R-410A (50 wt% R-32 (difluoromethane) + 50 wt% R-125 (pentafluoroethane)) can be an effective way to mitigate the greenhouse effect and achieve a circular economy. Efficient ionic liquids (ILs) as extractants needed to be found for the extractive distillation (ED) separation process of R-410A. Given the numerous combinations of cations and anions in ILs, the discovery of an efficient IL via experimental methods proves to be an exceedingly complex task. In this work, the solubilities of R-32, and R-125 in 840 conventional ILs (comprised of 20 cations and 42 anions) were analyzed based on infinite dilution activity coefficient. The absorption mechanisms of R-32 and R-125 in ILs were elucidated by analyzing excess enthalpy (HE), excess Gibbs free energy (GE)) and surface charge density distribution through COSMO-RS (Conductor-like Screening Model for Real Solvents). Results revealed that HE and GE of the mixture formed by R-125 and most ILs surpassed those of R-32, resulting in higher solubility of R-32 in most ILs compared to R-125. Structural changes of anions and cations had a greater effect on the solubility of R-125 in ILs. It is found for the first time that the existence of a strong hydrogen bond donor region in cations/anions generated intense repulsion with the hydrogen atom in R-125. Furthermore, a large area of weak polarity on the surface of cations/anions was difficult to form an effective charge shield with fluorine atoms in R-125, thus inhibiting the dissolution of R-125. Finally based on the identified interaction sites, combined with melting point and viscosity, some novel functional ILs with high selectivity for R-32 + R-125 were designed and determined for actual separation process. These findings significantly enrich the understanding of the solubility mechanism and provide theoretical guidance for designing new ILs for R-410A reclamation.

Abstract
To explore green technology for wheat straw pretreatment, this study combined the microwave or hydrothermal with ionic liquid ([Bmim][OAc]) on wheat straw followed by rumen fermentation. The optimal conditions of microwave assisted ionic liquids pretreatment (M-I) and hydrothermal assisted ionic liquids pretreatment (H-I) treatment were 360 W and 200 °C, and the corresponding lignin removal rates reached 35.3% and 25.4%, respectively. Rumen fermentation showed that the highest volatile fatty acid (VFA) yield was found in M-I group, followed by H-I group at 234 and 180 mg/g, respectively. As for enzymatic hydrolysis, the saccharification rates at 3 days of M-I (360 W) and H-I (200 °C) were determined to be 393 and 320 mg/g. The optimal ionic liquid dosage was determined to be 30% in consideration of cost and VFA conversion rate. M-I pretreatment plus the rumen fermentation enjoyed the benefit of no enzyme addition and high product recovery, which was worth further investigating.

Abstract
Metal rubber (MR) is an entangled fibrous functional material, and its mechanical properties are crucial for its applications; however, numerical constitutive models of MR for prediction and calculation are currently undeveloped. In this work, we provide a numerical constitutive model to express the mechanics of MR materials and develop an efficient finite elements method (FEM) to calculate the performance of MR components. We analyze the nonlinearity and anisotropy characteristics of MR during the deformation process. The elasticity matrix is adopted to express the nonlinearity and anisotropy of MR. An artificial neural network (ANN) model is built, trained, and tested to output the current elastic moduli for the elasticity matrix. Then, we combine the constitutive ANN model with the finite element method simulation to calculate the mechanics of the MR component. Finally, we perform a series of static and shock experiments and finite element simulations of an MR isolator. The results demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of the numerical constitutive MR model. This work provides an efficient and convenient method for the design and analysis of MR components.
