Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) consisting entirely of ions exhibit many fascinating and tunable properties, making them promising functional materials for a large number of energy-related applications. For example, ILs have been employed as electrolytes for electrochemical energy storage and conversion, as heat transfer fluids and phase-change materials for thermal energy transfer and storage, as solvents and/or catalysts for CO2 capture, CO2 conversion, biomass treatment and biofuel extraction, and as high-energy propellants for aerospace applications. This paper provides an extensive overview on the various energy applications of ILs and offers some thinking and viewpoints on the current challenges and emerging opportunities in each area. The basic fundamentals (structures and properties) of ILs are first introduced. Then, motivations and successful applications of ILs in the energy field are concisely outlined. Later, a detailed review of recent representative works in each area is provided. For each application, the role of ILs and their associated benefits are elaborated. Research trends and insights into the selection of ILs to achieve improved performance are analyzed as well. Challenges and future opportunities are pointed out before the paper is concluded.

Ab Rahim AH, Yunus NM, Bustam MA. Ionic Liquids Hybridization for Carbon Dioxide Capture: A Review. Molecules 2023; 28:7091.

Abstract
CO2 absorption has been driven by the need for efficient and environmentally sustainable CO2 capture technologies. The development in the synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs) has attracted immense attention due to the possibility of obtaining compounds with designated properties. This allows ILs to be used in various applications including, but not limited to, biomass pretreatment, catalysis, additive in lubricants and dye-sensitive solar cell (DSSC). The utilization of ILs to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most well-known processes in an effort to improve the quality of natural gas and to reduce the green gases emission. One of the key advantages of ILs relies on their low vapor pressure and high thermal stability properties. Unlike any other traditional solvents, ILs exhibit high solubility and selectivity towards CO2. Frequently studied ILs for CO2 absorption include imidazolium-based ILs such as [HMIM][Tf2N] and [BMIM][OAc], as well as ILs containing amine groups such as [Cho][Gly] and [C1ImPA][Gly]. Though ILs are being considered as alternative solvents for CO2 capture, their full potential is limited by their main drawback, namely, high viscosity. Therefore, the hybridization of ILs has been introduced as a means of optimizing the performance of ILs, given their promising potential in capturing CO2. The resulting hybrid materials are expected to exhibit various ranges of chemical and physical characteristics. This review presents the works on the hybridization of ILs with numerous materials including activated carbon (AC), cellulose, metal-organic framework (MOF) and commercial amines. The primary focus of this review is to present the latest innovative solutions aimed at tackling the challenges associated with IL viscosity and to explore the influences of ILs hybridization toward CO2 capture. In addition, the development and performance of ILs for CO2 capture were explored and discussed. Lastly, the challenges in ILs hybridization were also being addressed.

Abstract
One of the ever-demanding research fields is the development of new solvents with better properties for mitigation of CO2 compared to existing solvents. This work reports the measurement and modeling of CO2 solubility in newly proposed aqueous solvent blends of 2-methyl piperazine with N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), sulfolane (TMSO2), and 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate ([bmim] [Ac]). The operating temperature and CO2 partial pressure conditions chosen were 303.2-323.2 K and 2-370 kPa, respectively. Along with this, qualitative 13C NMR and FTIR analysis were also performed to consider the proposed reaction scheme. The experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium data were modeled by a modified Kent-Eisenberg equilibrium model. The equilibrium constants associated with 2-methyl piperazine (2-MPZ) and [bmim] [Ac] deprotonation and carbamate formation reactions were regressed to fit the experimental CO2 solubility data. In addition, the CO2 cyclic capacity and heat of absorption were evaluated for the aq (MDEA + 2-MPZ) blend.

Abstract
The surface of aqueous solutions of simple salts was not the main focus of scientific attention for a long while. Considerable interest in studying such systems has only emerged in the past two decades, following the pioneering finding that large halide ions, such as I-, exhibit considerable surface affinity. Since then, a number of issues have been clarified; however, there are still several unresolved points (e.g., the effect of various salts on lateral water diffusion at the surface) in this respect. Computer simulation studies of the field have largely benefited from the appearance of intrinsic surface analysis methods, by which the particles staying right at the boundary of the two phases can be unambiguously identified. Considering complex ions instead of simple ones opens a number of interesting questions, both from the theoretical point of view and from that of the applications. Besides reviewing the state-of-the-art of intrinsic surface analysis methods as well as the most important advances and open questions concerning the surface of simple ionic solutions, we focus on two such systems in this Perspective, namely, the surface of aqueous mixtures of room temperature ionic liquids and that of ionic surfactants. In the case of the former systems, for which computer simulation studies have still scarcely been reported, we summarize the theoretical advances that could trigger such investigations, which might well be of importance also from the point of view of industrial applications. Computer simulation methods are, on the other hand, widely used in studies of the surface of surfactant solutions. Here we review the most important theoretical advances and issues to be addressed and discuss two areas of applications, namely, the inclusion of information gathered from such simulations in large scale atmospheric models and the better understanding of the airborne transmission of viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.
