Abstract
The separation of CO2 from the biogas mixtures (CH4/CO2) is essential for biogas upgradation. However, polymer membranes used for CO2 separation exhibit low permeability. Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs) incorporating inorganic filler in the polymer enhance CO2 separation. In this work, bio-degradable cellulose acetate (CA) based MMMs with varying filler weight percentages (2-20 wt.%) of ZIF-8 were studied for the separation of CO2 from a model biogas (CH4/CO2) mixture. The MMMs were characterized by analysis of TGA and DSC for thermal stability and FTIR for alteration or formation of any new functional group. FESEM was done to evaluate the dispersion and interaction of ZIF-8 in the CA polymer matrix. Considering the economic aspect, the fabricated MMMs were tested for gas separation performance at reasonably lower feed pressure (1.5, 2 bar). MMM with 5 and 10 wt.% of ZIF-8/ CA MMMs showed the best performance with CO2 permeability of 9.65 Barrer and 9.5 Barrer, approximately two folds as compared to pure CA, and CO2/CH4 selectivity was 10.37 and 15.3. The experimental results were compared with the predicted gas permeation results determined using MMM transport predictive models, and found that the permeabilities were higher than the model predictions.

Abstract
Biological ion channels can realize high-speed and high-selective ion transport through the protein filter with the sub-1-nanometer channel. Inspired by biological ion channels, various kinds of artificial subnanopores, subnanochannels, and subnanoslits with improved ion selectivity and permeability are recently developed for efficient separation, energy conversion, and biosensing. This review article discusses the advanced fabrication and functionalization methods for constructing subnanofluidic pores, channels, tubes, and slits, which have shown great potential for various applications. Novel fabrication methods for producing subnanofluidics, including top-down techniques such as electron beam etching, ion irradiation, and electrochemical etching, as well as bottom-up approaches starting from advanced microporous frameworks, microporous polymers, lipid bilayer embedded subnanochannels, and stacked 2D materials are well summarized. Meanwhile, the functionalization methods of subnanochannels are discussed based on the introduction of functional groups, which are classified into direct synthesis, covalent bond modifications, and functional molecule fillings. These methods have enabled the construction of subnanochannels with precise control of structure, size, and functionality. The current progress, challenges, and future directions in the field of subnanofluidic are also discussed.

Abstract
Adsorptive desulfurization of light fuels is sustainable due to its ambient operation and reusability of exhausted adsorbents. In this study, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide [HEMIM][DCA] IL was synthesized and utilized to modify N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to produce N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] as a green hybrid adsorbent. The adsorbent was characterized using XRD, FE-SEM, FTIR, BET, and TGA. It was indicated that the N-CNT treatment with [HEMIM][DCA] IL resulted in decreased crystallinity with the cubic and rod-shaped morphology and harsh surfaces and curved edges. The absence of shifts or variations in FTIR peaks of starting materials and N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] suggested that neither component was affected by chemical interactions. The adsorption capacity of N-CNT and N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] was 54.3 mg/g and for 83.6 mg/g for 50 ppm BT, respectively. Saturated with BT, the adsorbent's performance was decreased at high BT concentrations. The adsorption isotherms provided an understanding of interactions of BT with sorbent surface which follows the Langmuir model for N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] and N-CNT. The kinetics of BT adsorption on N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] was fitted with second-order kinetic model with the decreased adsorption ratio over time due to pore saturation. 25 % reduction of the adsorption capacity was obtained after two recycling cycles of the adsorbent (62.5 mg/g). N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] showed good recyclability and potential as a promising BT adsorbent.

Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) provide the opportunity to test new porous materials in challenging applications. A series of low-cost porous organic polymer (POPs) networks, possessing tunable porosity and high CO2 uptake, has been obtained by aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions of biphenyl, 9,10-dihydro-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-ethanoanthracene (DMDHA), triptycene and 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene (135TPB) with dimethoxymethane (DMM). These materials have been characterized by FTIR, 13C NMR, WAXD, TGA, SEM, and CO2 uptake. Finally, different loadings of these POPs have been introduced into Matrimid, Pebax, and chitosan:polyvinyl alcohol blends as polymeric matrices to prepare MMMs. The CO2/CH4 separation performance of these MMMs has been evaluated by single and mixed gas permeation experiments at 4 bar and room temperature. The effect of the porosity of the porous fillers on the membrane separation behavior and the compatibility between them and the different polymer matrices on membrane design and fabrication has been studied by Maxwell model equations as a function of the gas permeability of the pure polymers, porosity, and loading of the fillers in the MMMs. Although the gas transport properties showed an increasing deviation from ideal Maxwell equation prediction with increasing porosity of the POP fillers and increasing hydrophilicity of the polymer matrices, the behavior of biopolymer-based CS:PVA MMMs approached that of Pebax-based MMMs, giving scope to not only new filler materials but also sustainable polymer choices to find a place in membrane technology.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and ionic liquids (ILs) represent promising materials for adsorption separation. ILs incorporated into MOF materials (denoted as IL/MOF composites) have been developed, and IL/MOF composites combine the advantages of MOFs and ILs to achieve enhanced performance in the adsorption-based separation of fluid mixtures. The designed different ILs are introduced into the various MOFs to tailor their functional properties, which affect the optimal adsorptive separation performance. In this Perspective, the rational fabrication of IL/MOF composites is presented, and their functional properties are demonstrated. This paper provides a critical overview of an emergent class of materials termed IL/MOF composites as well as the recent advances in the applications of IL/MOF composites as adsorbents or membranes in fluid separation. Furthermore, the applications of IL/MOF in adsorptive gas separations (CO2 capture from flue gas, natural gas purification, separation of acetylene and ethylene, indoor pollutants removal) and liquid separations (separation of bioactive components, organic-contaminant removal, adsorptive desulfurization, radionuclide removal) are discussed. Finally, the existing challenges of IL/MOF are highlighted, and an appropriate design strategy direction for the effective exploration of new IL/MOF adsorptive materials is proposed.

Abstract
Ion-selective membranes act as the core components in osmotic energy harvesting, but remain with deficiencies such as low ion selectivity and a tendency to swell. 2D nanofluidic membranes as competitive candidates are still subjected to limited mass transport brought by insufficient wetting and poor stability in water. Here, an ionic-liquid-infused graphene oxide (GO@IL) membrane with ultrafast ion transport ability is reported, and how the confined ionic liquid mediates selective cation diffusion is revealed. The infusion of ionic liquids endows the 2D membrane with excellent mechanical strength, anti-swelling properties, and good stability in aqueous electrolytes. Importantly, immiscible ionic liquids also provide a medium, allowing partial dehydration for ultrafast ion transport. Through molecular dynamics simulation and finite element modeling, that GO nanosheets induce ionic liquids to rearrange, bringing in additional space charges, which can be coupled with GO synergistically, is proved. By mixing 0.5/0.01 m NaCl solution, the power density can achieve a record value of ≈6.7 W m-2 , outperforming state-of-art GO-based membranes. This work opens up a new route for boosting nanofluidic energy conversion because of the diversity of the ILs and 2D materials.

Abstract
We have studied the separation of a mixture of hydrogen and methane in equal proportions, using a thin film comprised of 10 layers of nanoparticles deposited layer-wise using our "two-point sticking algorithm" which simulates controlled agglomeration of such nanoparticles. We simulate the process of gas separation using LAMMPS. We have studied the scenario where nanoparticles act like hard spheres, maintaining their shape and size, similar to what has been demonstrated by experiments involving self-assembled nanoparticle thin films. We consider the pressure dependence of the results by working at 3 different initial pressures, 0.1 × P0, 0.5 × P0 and P0, where P0 is the atmospheric pressure. Three different diameters of the nanoparticles, namely 3 nm, 6 nm and 9 nm, are considered, and therefore the overall thickness of the membranes considered ranges from 30 nm to 90 nm. We obtained perm-selectivity values that are significantly higher than the Robeson line for hydrogen-methane gas separation, indicating the novelty and therefore the significant applications of this work. We find that while the permeance of hydrogen remains more or less steady with a ten-fold increase of pressure, the corresponding fall in methane's permeance is very sharp. The fall in methane's permeance with increasing pressure is more pronounced the smaller the nanoparticles of the membrane being used. This results in an even higher selectivity at higher pressure for smaller nanoparticle based membranes.

Abstract
Carbon capture has become a very important method for curbing the problems associated with the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which in turn has detrimental effects on the planet and its inhabitants. Ionic liquids and membrane separation have been explored in this review paper as effective means of capturing carbon dioxide. An innovative approach to CO2 capture is the use of Ionic liquids (ILs) since they exhibit certain significant traits such as good stability (thermal, mechanical and chemical), inflammability and high absorptive capacities. Ionic liquids (ILs) are widely regarded as nontoxic substances. Viscosity and thermal degradation of ILs at temperatures slightly above 100 °C are the major disadvantages of ILs. Membrane separation is a technique used for the effective separation of substances by materials bearing holes in a continuous structure. Membrane technology has gained significant improvements, over the years. Several ILs and membrane systems were considered in this work. Their weaknesses, strengths, permeability, selectivity, operating conditions and carbon capture efficiencies, were all highlighted in order to gain a good perspective on ways by which the individual systems can be improved upon. The study considered several polymer-Ionic liquid hybrid materials as viable options for CO2 capture from a post-combustion process. Different ILs were scrutinized for possible integration in membranes by taking full advantage of their individual properties and harnessing their tune-able characteristics in order to improve the overall carbon capture performance of the system. Several options for improving the mechanical, chemical, and thermal stabilities of the hybrid systems were considered including the use of cellulose acetate membrane, nanoparticles (graphene oxide powder) alongside potential ionic liquids. Doping membranes with ILs and nanoparticulates such as graphene oxide serves as a potential method for enhancing the CO2 capture of membranes and this review provides several evidences that serve as proofs for this concept.

Abstract
Pollution harms ecosystems and poses a serious threat to human health around the world through direct or indirect effects on air, water, and land. The importance of remediating effluents is paramount to reducing environmental concerns. CO2 emissions are removed efficiently and efficaciously with mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), which are viable replacements for less efficient and costly membranes. In the field of membrane technology, MMMs are advancing rapidly due to their good separation properties. The selection of filler to be incorporated in mixed matrix membranes is very considered very important. There has been considerable interest in MOFs, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), ionic liquids (ILs), carbon molecular sieves (CMSs), sulfonated fillers (SFs), and layered silicates (LSs) as inorganic fillers for improving the properties of mixed matrix membranes. These fillers promise superb results and long durability for mixed matrix membranes based on them. The purpose of this review is to review different fillers used in MMMs for improving separation properties, limitations, and thermomechanical properties for environmental control and remediation.

Abstract
In this work, in situ polymerization of modified sol-gel silica in a polyether sulfone matrix is presented to control the interfacial defects in organic-inorganic composite membranes. Polyether sulfone polymer and modified silica are used as organic and inorganic components of mixed matrix membranes (MMM). The membranes were prepared with different loadings (2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%) of modified and unmodified silica. The synthesized membranes were characterized using Field emission electron scanning microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analyzer, and differential scanning calorimetry. The performance of the membranes was evaluated using a permeation cell set up at a relatively higher-pressure range (5-30 bar). The membranes appear to display ideal morphology with uniform distribution of particles, defect-free structure, and absence of interfacial defects such as voids and particle accumulations. Additionally, the CO2/CH4 selectivity of the membrane increased with the increase in the modified silica content. Further comparison of the performance indicates that PES/modified silica MMMs show a promising feature of commercially attractive membranes. Therefore, tailoring the interfacial morphology of the membrane results in enhanced properties and improved CO2 separation performance.

Abstract
In this study, a facile and extensible one pot approach was utilized to synthesize ionic liquid inside a porous metal organic framework (UiO-66). Different characterization techniques were used to confirm the successful synthesis of UiO-66@IL composite. The MMMs were characterized and tested for CO2 separation from CH4 or N2 at ambient and elevated temperatures. SEM images exhibited well dispersion of the filler particles with no notable defect even at high loadings. Single and mixed gas permeation results indicated significant performance (CO2 permeability: 143 Barrer and CO2/CH4, CO2/N2 selectivity: 28.32, 61.11 respectively) by enhancing the permeability of CO2 by 74% and selectivity to 31% and 26% for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 compared with neat Pebax®1657 membrane.

Abstract
In this work, membranes based on polyetherimide (PEI), a ZIF-8 metal–organic framework and 1-ethyl-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid (IL) were prepared. IL and ZIF-8 contents amounting to 7 wt% and 25 wt%, respectively, were investigated. CO2, He and H2 transport properties of PEI/IL/ZIF-8 membranes were compared to those obtained for the respective PEI/ZIF-8 and PEI/IL systems. Membranes’ gas permeability and selectivity are discussed as a function of the membrane composition and morphology, and they were assessed in relation to existing experimental and theoretical data from the literature. Promising gas transport properties were obtained using the appropriate combination of ZIF-8 and IL amounts in the PEI matrix. Indeed, an increase in the CO2 permeability coefficient by a factor of around 7.5 and the He and H2 permeability coefficients by a factor of around 4 was achieved by adding 7 wt% IL and 10 wt% ZIF-8 to the PEI matrix. Moreover, diffusion was evidenced as a governing factor in the studied membrane series.

Abstract
CO2 capture is essential for both mitigating CO2 emissions and purifying/conditioning gases for fuel and chemical production. To further improve the process performance with low environmental impacts, different strategies have been proposed, where developing liquid green absorbent for capturing CO2 is one of the effective options. Ionic liquids (IL)/deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently emerged as green absorbents with unique properties, especially DESs also benefit from facile synthesis, low toxicity, and high biodegradability. To promote their development, this work summarized the recent research progress on ILs/DESs developed for CO2 capture from the aspects of those physical- and chemical-based, and COSMO-RS was combined to predict the properties that are unavailable from published articles in order to evaluate their performance based on the key properties for different IL/DES-based technologies. Finally, top 10 ILs/DESs were listed based on the corresponding criteria. The shared information will provide insight into screening and further developing IL/DES-based technologies for CO2 capture.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture has become of great importance for industrial processes due to the adverse environmental effects of gas emissions. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have been studied as an alternative to traditional technologies, especially due to their potential to overcome the practical limitations of conventional polymeric and inorganic membranes. In this work, the effect of using different ionic liquids (ILs) with the stable metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 was evaluated. Several IL@ZIF-8 composites and IL@ZIF-8 MMMs were prepared to improve the selective CO2 sorption and permeation over other gases such as methane (CH4) and nitrogen (N2). Different ILs and two distinct loadings were prepared to study not only the effect of IL concentration, but also the impact of the IL structure and affinity towards a specific gas mixture separation. Single gas sorption studies showed an improvement in CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 selectivities, compared with the ones for the pristine ZIF-8, increasing with IL loading. In addition, the prepared IL@ZIF-8 MMMs showed improved CO2 selective behavior and mechanical strength with respect to ZIF-8 MMMs, with a strong dependence on the intrinsic IL CO2 selectivity. Therefore, the selection of high affinity ILs can lead to the improvement of CO2 selective separation for IL@ZIF-8 MMMs.

Abstract
Ionic liquids have attracted the attention of the industry and research community as versatile solvents with unique properties, such as ionic conductivity, low volatility, high solubility of gases and vapors, thermal stability, and the possibility to combine anions and cations to yield an almost endless list of different structures. These features open perspectives for numerous applications, such as the reaction medium for chemical synthesis, electrolytes for batteries, solvent for gas sorption processes, and also membranes for gas separation. In the search for better-performing membrane materials and membranes for gas and vapor separation, ionic liquids have been investigated extensively in the last decade and a half. This review gives a complete overview of the main developments in the field of ionic liquid membranes since their first introduction. It covers all different materials, membrane types, their preparation, pure and mixed gas transport properties, and examples of potential gas separation applications. Special systems will also be discussed, including facilitated transport membranes and mixed matrix membranes. The main strengths and weaknesses of the different membrane types will be discussed, subdividing them into supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs), poly(ionic liquids) or polymerized ionic liquids (PILs), polymer/ionic liquid blends (physically or chemically cross-linked 'ion-gels'), and PIL/IL blends. Since membrane processes are advancing as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional separation processes, having shown promising results for complex new separation challenges like carbon capture as well, they may be the key to developing a more sustainable future society. In this light, this review presents the state-of-the-art of ionic liquid membranes, to analyze their potential in the gas separation processes of the future.

Abstract
CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) is an effective strategy to mitigate global warming. Absorption, adsorption and membranes are methods used for CO2 separation and capture, and various catalytic pathways have also been developed for CO2 utilization. Although widely researched and used in industry, these processes are energy-intensive and this challenge needs to be overcome. To realize further optimization, novel materials and processes are continuously being developed. New generation materials such as ionic liquids (ILs) have shown promising potential for cost-effective CO2 capture and utilization. This study reviews the current status of ILs-based solvents, adsorbents, membranes, catalysts and their hybrid processes for CO2 capture and utilization. The special properties of ILs are integrated into new materials through hybridization, which significantly improves the performance in the process of CCU.

Abstract
Imidazolium Ionic Liquids (ILs) have been found to exhibit unusual nanostructuring behavior below their glass transition temperatures (Tg), which is ascribed to rearrangements in nonpolar domains formed by segregated alkyl chains. However, the dimensions required for such highly cooperative bulk phenomena are still unknown. In this work, we for the first time, investigate the effect of nanoconfinement on structural anomalies in imidazolium ILs. For this purpose, a series of ILs were embedded into the cavities of metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 and investigated using spin probes and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The unusual nanostructuring near Tg, previously known for bulk ILs, was also observed for such nanoconfined ILs, and the amplitude of the anomaly was found to be dependent on the structure of the IL, thus showing the effects of molecular packing inside the MOF cavity. The first observation of structural anomalies in nanoconfined ILs opens perspectives for designing smart materials exhibiting these phenomena, and engaging MOFs as platforms creates the basis for potential applications of such functionalities.

Abstract
AbstractWith fossil fuel being the major source of energy, CO2 emission levels need to be reduced to a minimal amount namely from anthropogenic sources. Energy consumption is expected to rise by 48% in the next 30 years, and global warming is becoming an alarming issue which needs to be addressed on a thorough technical basis. Nonetheless, exploring CO2 capture using membrane contactor technology has shown great potential to be applied and utilised by industry to deal with post- and pre-combustion of CO2. A systematic review of the literature has been conducted to analyse and assess CO2 removal using membrane contactors for capturing techniques in industrial processes. The review began with a total of 2650 papers, which were obtained from three major databases, and then were excluded down to a final number of 525 papers following a defined set of criteria. The results showed that the use of hollow fibre membranes have demonstrated popularity, as well as the use of amine solvents for CO2 removal. This current systematic review in CO2 removal and capture is an important milestone in the synthesis of up to date research with the potential to serve as a benchmark databank for further research in similar areas of work. This study provides the first systematic enquiry in the evidence to research further sustainable methods to capture and separate CO2.

Abstract
A facile strategy to elevate gas separation performances of polymers is to introduce a versatile particle. In this study, the novel F-Ce nanosheets are synthesized, and then F-Ce is functionalized with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole thiocyanate (ionic liquids, ILs), obtaining multifunctional f-F-Ce nanosheets by the facile and environment-friendly methods. The multifunctional f-F-Ce nanosheets are incorporated into the Pebax (Pebax 1657) matrix to fabricate mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for efficient CO2 separation. The f-F-Ce nanosheets play versatile parts in elevating membrane gas separation performance. On the one hand, f-F-Ce tends to arrange horizontally and constructs a unique interfacial structure for cross-layer CO2 transport in MMMs. On the other hand, the abundant mesopores from f-F-Ce construct high-speed CO2 transport channels in MMMs and notably elevate the gas permeability. Moreover, the as-prepared MMMs separate CO2 efficiently due to the comprehensive improvements of diffusivity selectivity, solubility selectivity, and reactivity selectivity. First, the high aspect ratio of f-F-Ce provides the tortuous pathways for gas transport and generates the rigid interface between the Pebax matrix and f-F-Ce nanosheets, increasing the diffusivity selectivity. Second, SCN- groups from ILs show excellent affinity to CO2, enhancing the solubility selectivity. Third, amine groups from ILs with abundant methylimidazole generate reversible reaction with CO2 to elevate reactivity selectivity. Consequently, the f-F-Ce-doped MMMs display excellent CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity. In particular, the MMM incorporated with 8 wt % f-F-Ce displays a CO2 permeability of 1823 Barrer and a CO2/CH4 selectivity of 35, overcoming the Robeson upper bound line (2008).

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent the largest known class of porous crystalline materials ever synthesized. Their narrow pore windows and nearly unlimited structural and chemical features have made these materials of significant interest for membrane-based gas separations. In this comprehensive review, we discuss opportunities and challenges related to the formation of pure MOF films and mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). Common and emerging separation applications are identified, and membrane transport theory for MOFs is described and contextualized relative to the governing principles that describe transport in polymers. Additionally, cross-cutting research opportunities using advanced metrologies and computational techniques are reviewed. To quantify membrane performance, we introduce a simple membrane performance score that has been tabulated for all of the literature data compiled in this review. These data are reported on upper bound plots, revealing classes of MOF materials that consistently demonstrate promising separation performance. Recommendations are provided with the intent of identifying the most promising materials and directions for the field in terms of fundamental science and eventual deployment of MOF materials for commercial membrane-based gas separations.

Abstract
Separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from methane (CH4) using polymeric membranes is limited by trade-off between permeability and selectivity as depicted in Robeson curve. To overcome this challenge, this study develops membranes by incorporating silica particles (Si) modified with [EMIM][Tf2N] ionic liquid (IL) at different IL:Si ratio to achieve desirable membrane properties and gas separation performance. Results show that the IL:Si particle has been successfully prepared, indicated by the presence of fluorine and nitrogen elements, as observed via Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS). Incorporation of the modified particles into membrane has given prominent effects on morphology and polymer chain flexibility. The mixed matrix membrane (MMM) cross-section morphology turns rougher in the presence of IL:Si during fracture due to higher loadings of silica particles and IL. Furthermore, the MMM becomes more flexible with IL presence due to IL-induced plasticization, independent of IL:Si ratio. The MMM with low IL content possesses CO2 permeance of 34.60 ± 0.26 GPU with CO2/CH4 selectivity of 85.10, which is far superior to a pure polycarbonate (PC) and PC-Sil membranes at 2 bar, which surpasses the Robeson Upper Bound. This higher CO2 selectivity is due to the presences of CO2-philic IL within the MMM system.

Abstract
Considering the high potential of hydrogen (H2) as a clean energy carrier, the implementation of high performance and cost-effective biohydrogen (bioH2) purification techniques is of vital importance, particularly in fuel cell applications. As membrane technology is a potentially energy-saving solution to obtain high-quality biohydrogen, the most promising poly(ionic liquid) (PIL)–ionic liquid (IL) composite membranes that had previously been studied by our group for CO2/N2 separation, containing pyrrolidinium-based PILs with fluorinated or cyano-functionalized anions, were chosen as the starting point to explore the potential of PIL–IL membranes for CO2/H2 separation. The CO2 and H2 permeation properties at the typical conditions of biohydrogen production (T = 308 K and 100 kPa of feed pressure) were measured and discussed. PIL–IL composites prepared with the [C(CN)3]− anion showed higher CO2/H2 selectivity than those containing the [NTf2]− anion. All the membranes revealed CO2/H2 separation performances above the upper bound for this specific separation, highlighting the composite incorporating 60 wt % of [C2mim][C(CN)3] IL.
