Recent Advances on the Functionalities of Polyoxometalate-Based Ionic Liquids

Polyoxometalate (POM)-based ionic liquids (POM-ILs) are gaining increasing attention due to their diverse structures and functionalities. POMs in POM-ILs not only act as essential structural building blocks but also play a crucial role in their functional performance. With the incorporation of POMs, POM-ILs find applications in various fields such as chemical catalysis, energy science, materials science, sensors, and more. The abundant availability of POMs and other building blocks in POM-ILs, along with their versatile combination possibilities, present promising opportunities for the future. Rather than focusing solely on discovering new structures of POM-ILs, current developments in this field emphasize exploring their functions, leading to the emergence of numerous new applications. Summarizing these advancements aids in understanding the latest trends and facilitates rapid evolution. This review examines the recent five years' worth of results to analyze the new functions of POM-ILs, categorizing them based on their unique characteristics.
