Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have significant potential for eco-friendly extraction of uranium from aqueous solutions, which is critical for nuclear technology, fuel cycle management, and environmental protection. This study examines the impact of the adjustable hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties of ILs on the removal of uranium(VI) (UO22+) from aqueous solutions utilizing both a novel hydrophilic IL (1-butoxyethyl-1-methylmorpholinium butoxyethylphosphite - Mor1-2O4-BOEP) and 1-heptyl-1-methylmorpholinium heptylphosphite (Mor1-7-HP) as an example of a hydrophobic IL with a similar structure. The transfer mechanism of uranyl ions from water to organic or solid phases closely depends on the physicochemical properties of ILs, especially their hydrophobicity. The hydrophobic Mor1-7-HP extracts uranyl via neutral complex formation as UO2(NO3)2-(Mor1-7-HP)2. Conversely, hydrophilic Mor1-2O4-BOEP induced selective precipitation as UO2(NO3)-(BOEP), transferring uranyl to the solid phase. Optimization of the working parameters, in terms of acidity of the aqueous solution and amount of ILs used, allowed the extraction of over 98% of U(VI). The stoichiometry of the organic complex and the precipitate was determined using physicochemical techniques. These tunable H-phosphonate-based ILs have advantages over traditional solvent extraction and conventional ILs, allowing easier handling, improved selectivity, and lower environmental impact. This work advances uranium separation techniques with applications in hydrometallurgy, particularly in the treatment of wastewater and radioactive waste for sustainable uranium recovery.

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.

Facile immobilization of cholesterol oxidase on Pt,Ru-C nanocomposite and ionic liquid-modified carbon paste electrode for an efficient amperometric free cholesterol biosensing. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:5709-5722. [PMID: 37453937 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04847-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
In present work, the enzyme cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) was immobilized by Nafion® (Naf) on Pt,Ru-C nanocomposite and an ionic liquid (IL)-modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) in order to create cholesterol biosensor (Naf/ChOx/Pt,Ru-C/IL-CPE). The prepared working electrodes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive spectrometry, while their electrochemical performance was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopic, cyclic voltammetric, and amperometric techniques. Excellent synergism between IL 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([AMIM][DCA]), Pt,Ru-C, and ChOx, as modifiers of CPE, offers the most pronounced analytical performance for improved cholesterol amperometric determination in phosphate buffer solution pH 7.50 at a working potential of 0.60 V. Under optimized experimental conditions, a linear relationship between oxidation current and cholesterol concentration was found for the range from 0.31 to 2.46 µM, with an estimated detection limit of 0.13 µM and relative standard deviation (RSD) below 5.5%. The optimized amperometric method in combination with the developed Naf/ChOx/Pt,Ru-C/IL-CPE biosensor showed good repeatability and high selectivity towards cholesterol biosensing. The proposed biosensor was successfully applied to determine free cholesterol in a human blood serum sample via its enzymatic reaction product hydrogen peroxide despite the presence of possible interferences. The percentage recovery ranged from 99.08 to 102.81%, while RSD was below 2.0% for the unspiked as well as the spiked human blood serum sample. The obtained results indicated excellent accuracy and precision of the method, concluding that the developed biosensor can be a promising alternative to existing commercial cholesterol tests used in medical practice.

Abstract
The urgent need to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels drives the demand for renewable energy and has been attracting the interest of the scientific community to develop materials with improved energy storage properties. We propose a sustainable route to produce nanoporous carbon materials with a high-surface area from commercial graphite using a dry ball-milling procedure through a systematic study of the effects of dry ball-milling conditions on the properties of the modified carbons. The microstructure and morphology of the dry ball-milled graphite/carbon composites are characterized by BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) analysis, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), ATR-FTIR (attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and Raman spectroscopy. As both the electrode and electrolyte play a significant role in any electrochemical energy storage device, the gravimetric capacitance was measured for ball-milled material/glassy carbon (GC) composite electrodes in contact with a deep eutectic solvent (DES) containing choline chloride and ethylene glycol as hydrogen bond donor (HBD) in a 1:2 molar ratio. Electrochemical stability was tracked by measuring charge/discharge curves. Carbons with different specific surface areas were tested and the relationship between the calculated capacitance and the surface treatment method was established. A five-fold increase in gravimetric capacitance, 25.27 F·g-1 (G40) against 5.45 F·g-1, was found for commercial graphene in contact with DES. Optimal milling time to achieve a higher surface area was also established.

Abstract
Clarifying the microstructures and time-dependent stability of ionic liquids (ILs) within the confinement of the meso-slit of carbon is the first step to understand the intrinsic synergy effect between ILs and a promising mesoporous carbon electrode. In this work, we adopted molecular dynamics to systematically investigate the behavior of [BMIM][PF6] in the 2.8 nm-wide meso-slit of carbon. The confined ILs formed a pronounced layered spatial distribution and can be divided into three distinct regions, namely, com-, sub-, and cen-layer, according to valley coordinates in the number density profiles. In the com-layer region, the imidazolium rings of ILs possess two dominant orientations, namely, "parallel" and "tilted standing". The rotation ability of all the ions is highly restrained. In the sub-layer and cen-layer regions, a part of the [BMIM] imidazolium ring has a preferred "tilted standing" orientation. The [BMIM] cations are still in a rotational restrain state and show a preferred rotation motion along the x-y plane. The hydrogen bond between [BMIM] cations and [PF6] anions play a crucial role in determining the confined multilayered spatial distribution and distinctive orientation properties of ILs.

Abstract
Novel ionic liquids (ILs), containing a dicyanamide anion (DCA−), are synthesized and applied as suitable electrolytes for electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). The prepared ILs are either composed of triethyl-propargylammonium (N222pr+) or triethyl-butylammonium (N2224+) cations paired with the DCA− anion. The structure of the cation influences its electrostatic interaction with the DCA− anion and highly impacts the physical and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared ILs. The geometry and the length of the alkyl chain of the propargyl group in N222pr+ enhance the ionic conductivity of N222pr–DCA (11.68 mS cm−1) when compared to N2224–DCA (5.26 mS cm−1) at 298 K. It is demonstrated that the Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher model governs the variations of the transport properties investigated over the temperature range of 298–353 K. A maximum potential window of 3.29 V is obtained when N222pr–DCA is used as electrolyte in a graphene based symmetric EDLC system. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic measurements confirm that both electrolytes exhibit an ideal capacitive behavior. The highest specific energy of 55 W h kg−1 is exhibited in the presence of N2224–DCA at a current density of 2.5 A g−1. Novel ionic liquids (ILs), containing a dicyanamide anion (DCA−), are synthesized and applied as suitable electrolytes for electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs).![]()
