Abstract
Characterized by their pivotal roles in cell-to-cell communication, cell proliferation, and immune regulation during tissue repair, exosomes have emerged as a promising avenue for "cell-free therapy" in clinical applications. Hydrogels, possessing commendable biocompatibility, degradability, adjustability, and physical properties akin to biological tissues, have also found extensive utility in tissue engineering and regenerative repair. The synergistic combination of exosomes and hydrogels holds the potential not only to enhance the efficiency of exosomes but also to collaboratively advance the tissue repair process. This review has summarized the advancements made over the past decade in the research of hydrogel-exosome systems for regenerating various tissues including skin, bone, cartilage, nerves and tendons, with a focus on the methods for encapsulating and releasing exosomes within the hydrogels. It has also critically examined the gaps and limitations in current research, whilst proposed future directions and potential applications of this innovative approach.

Abstract
High-quality transparent electrodes are indispensable components of flexible optoelectronic devices as they guarantee sufficient light transparency and electrical conductivity. Compared to commercial indium tin oxide, metal nanowires are considered ideal candidates as flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs) owing to their superior optoelectronic properties, excellent mechanical flexibility, solution treatability, and higher compatibility with semiconductors. However, certain key challenges associated with material preparation and device fabrication remain for the practical application of metal nanowire-based electrodes. In this review, we discuss state-of-the-art solution-processed metal nanowire-based FTEs and their applications in flexible and stretchable optoelectronic devices. Specifically, the important properties of FTEs and a cost-benefit analysis of existing technologies are introduced, followed by a summary of the synthesis strategy, key properties, and fabrication technologies of the nanowires. Subsequently, we explore the applications of metal-nanowire-based FTEs in different optoelectronic devices including solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes. Finally, the current status, future challenges, and emerging strategies in this field are presented.

Scattering approaches to unravel protein solution behaviors in ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents: From basic principles to recent developments. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 331:103242. [PMID: 38964196 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
Proteins in ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have gained significant attention due to their potential applications in various fields, including biocatalysis, bioseparation, biomolecular delivery, and structural biology. Scattering approaches including dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) have been used to understand the solution behavior of proteins at the nanoscale and microscale. This review provides a thorough exploration of the application of these scattering techniques to elucidate protein properties in ILs and DESs. Specifically, the review begins with the theoretical foundations of the relevant scattering approaches and describes the essential solvent properties of ILs and DESs linked to scattering such as refractive index, scattering length density, ion-pairs, liquid nanostructure, solvent aggregation, and specific ion effects. Next, a detailed introduction is provided on protein properties such as type, concentration, size, flexibility and structure as observed through scattering methodologies. This is followed by a review of the literature on the use of scattering for proteins in ILs and DESs. It is highlighted that enhanced data analysis and modeling tools are necessary for assessing protein flexibility and structure, and for understanding protein hydration, aggregation and specific ion effects. It is also noted that complementary approaches are recommended for comprehensively understanding the behavior of proteins in solution due to the complex interplay of factors, including ion-binding, dynamic hydration, intermolecular interactions, and specific ion effects. Finally, the challenges and potential research directions for this field are proposed, including experimental design, data analysis approaches, and supporting methods to obtain fundamental understandings of complex protein behavior and protein systems in solution. We envisage that this review will support further studies of protein interface science, and in particular studies on solvent and ion effects on proteins.

Abstract
We have studied the rotational diffusion of two prolate nitroxide probes, the doubly negatively charged peroxylamine disulfonate (Frémy's salt - FS) and neutral di-tert-butyl nitroxide (DTBN), in a series of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) having alkyl chain lengths from two to eight carbons using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Though the size and shape of the probes are reasonably similar, they behave differently due to the charge difference. The rotation of FS is anisotropic, and the rotational anisotropy increases with the alkyl chain length of the cation, while the rotation of DTBN is isotropic. The hyperfine coupling constant of DTBN decreases as a function of the alkyl chain length and is proportional to the relative permittivity of ionic liquids. On the other hand, the hyperfine coupling constant of FS increases with increasing chain length. These behaviors indicate the location of each probe in RTILs. FS is likely located in the polar region near the network of charged imidazolium ions. DTBN molecules are predominately distributed in the nonpolar domains.

Abstract
Tin oxide (SnO2) as electron transportation layer (ETL) has demonstrated remarkable performance applied in perovskite solar cells but still accommodated a host of defects such as oxygen vacancies, uncoordinated Sn4+ , and absorbed hydroxyl groups. Here, we use inorganic sodium thiosulfate Na2S2O3 to modify SnO2 nanoparticles in a bulk blending manner. Strong interaction between Na2S2O3 and SnO2 occurs, as reflected from the elemental chemical state change. The interaction has endowed the SnO2 film with better uniformity, increased conductivity, and more matched energy level with perovskite. Moreover, the modified SnO2 film as a substrate could promote the crystallization of perovskite by suppressing unreacted residual PbI2. The trap density from perovskite bulk to the SnO2 film across their interface has been effectively reduced, thus inhibiting the nonradiative recombination and promoting the transportation and extraction of charge carriers. Finally, the solar cell based on modified SnO2 has achieved a champion efficiency of 25.2%, demonstrating the effectiveness and potential of sulfur-containing molecules on optimizing the SnO2 property.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have recently garnered significant interest in being employed alongside conventional lithium-ion batteries, particularly in applications where cost and sustainability are particularly relevant. The rapid progress in NIBs will undoubtedly expedite the commercialization process. In this regard, tailoring and designing electrolyte formulation is a top priority, as they profoundly influence the overall electrochemical performance and thermal, mechanical, and dimensional stability. Moreover, electrolytes play a critical role in determining the system's safety level and overall lifespan. This review delves into recent electrolyte advancements from liquid (organic and ionic liquid) to solid and quasi-solid electrolyte (dry, hybrid, and single ion conducting electrolyte) for NIBs, encompassing comprehensive strategies for electrolyte design across various materials, systems, and their functional applications. The objective is to offer strategic direction for the systematic production of safe electrolytes and to investigate the potential applications of these designs in real-world scenarios while thoroughly assessing the current obstacles and forthcoming prospects within this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
In this study, we employed dielectric spectroscopy to investigate the effect of temperature and pressure on the ion dynamics of phosphonium ionic liquids (ILs) differing by the length of an alkyl chain, [P666,n][TFSI] (n = 2, 6, 8, 12). We found that both temperature and pressure dependence of dc-conductivity (σdc) determined for all examined ILs herein exhibit unique characteristics, unusual for aprotic ILs. Two regions differing by ion self-organization have been identified from the derivative analysis of σdc(T-1) data. On the other hand, isothermal measurements performed at elevated pressure revealed a unique concave-convex character of σdc(P) dependences, resulting in a clear minimum in the pressure behavior of activation volume. Such an inflection point characterizing the pressure dependence of σdc in [P666,n][TFSI] ILs can be considered an inherent feature of ion dynamics governed by structural self-assembly. Our results offer a unique perspective to link the ion mobility at various T-P conditions to the nanostructural organization of ionic systems.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have unique physicochemical properties that make them advantageous for catalysis, such as low vapor pressure, non-flammability, high thermal and chemical stabilities, and the ability to enhance the activity and stability of (bio)catalysts. ILs can improve the efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability of bio(transformations) by acting as activators of enzymes, selectively dissolving substrates and products, and reducing toxicity. They can also be recycled and reused multiple times without losing their effectiveness. ILs based on imidazolium cation are preferred for structural organization aspects, with a semiorganized layer surrounding the catalyst. ILs act as a container, providing a confined space that allows modulation of electronic and geometric effects, miscibility of reactants and products, and residence time of species. ILs can stabilize ionic and radical species and control the catalytic activity of dynamic processes. Supported IL phase (SILP) derivatives and polymeric ILs (PILs) are good options for molecular engineering of greener catalytic processes. The major factors governing metal, photo-, electro-, and biocatalysts in ILs are discussed in detail based on the vast literature available over the past two and a half decades. Catalytic reactions, ranging from hydrogenation and cross-coupling to oxidations, promoted by homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts in both single and multiphase conditions, are extensively reviewed and discussed considering the knowledge accumulated until now.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a remarkably powerful analytical technique enabling trace-level detection of biological molecules. The interaction of a probe molecule with the SERS substrate shows important distinctions in the SERS spectra, providing inherent fingerprint information on the probe molecule. Herein, nonhalogenated phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) containing cations with varying chain lengths were used as trace additives to amplify the interaction between the cytochrome c (Cyt c) and Zr-Al-Co-O (ZACO) nanotube arrays, strengthening the SERS signals. An increased enhancement factor (EF) by 2.5-41.2 times compared with the system without ILs was achieved. The improvement of the SERS sensitivity with the introduction of these ILs is strongly dependent on the cation chain length, in which the increasing magnitude of EF is more pronounced in the system with a longer alkyl chain length on the cation. Comparing the interaction forces measured by Cyt c-grafted atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes on ZACO substrates with those predicted by the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory, the van der Waals forces became increasingly dominant as the chain length of the cations increased, associated with stronger Cyt c-ZACO XDLVO interaction forces. The major contributing component, van der Waals force, stems from the longer cation chains of the IL, which act as a bridge to connect Cyt c and the ZACO substrate, promoting the anchoring of the Cyt c molecules onto the substrate, thereby benefiting SERS enhancement.

Abstract
This study explores the potential of the dumbbell solvent as a minimal model for understanding electrolyte solutions in polar solvents. Our investigation involves a comparative analysis of the dumbbell model and the Stockmayer model, focusing on ion solvation and ion-ion correlations. We examine electrolytes containing symmetric monovalent salts dissolved in polar solvents while varying the ion density and solvent polarity. Both models predict an augmented solvent coordination number around ions as the solvent polarity increases, with the dumbbell solvent displaying a more pronounced effect. Notably, radial distribution functions (RDFs) between solvent and ions yield differing trends; Stockmayer models exhibit a nonmonotonic relationship due to strong dipole-dipole interactions at higher polarity, while RDFs for ions and dumbbell solvents consistently rise. In response to increased solvent polarity, Stockmayer solvents within the ion's solvation shell undergo continuous dipole orientation shifts, whereas the dumbbell solvent predominantly adopts pointing-away dipole orientations, diminishing pointing-to orientations. This underscores the significance of the interplay between the solvent molecular orientation and dipole rotation. Both models qualitatively predict ion pairing and clustering behaviors across varying solvent dipole strengths and salt concentrations. The Stockmayer solvent generally provides stronger electrostatic screening than the dumbbell solvent due to its neglect of the coupling between molecular orientation and dipole rotation. What's more, at a high dipole moment regime, ion-ion correlations in Stockmayer solvent can become stronger with increasing dipole moment due to stronger solvent-solvent correlations. This study underscores the effectiveness of the dumbbell solvent model in systematically elucidating the fundamental principles governing electrolytes and offers potential applications in the rational design of electrolyte systems.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent mechanical and electrical properties; however, they suffer from dispersion problems in various applications. Traditional dispersing strategies of CNTs mostly use oxidation with strong acids or mechanical milling with high energy, which causes serious damage to the intrinsic structures and properties of CNTs. Therefore, it is important to develop new methods for dispersing CNTs without destroying their structures. This paper proposes to disperse CNTs in low-temperature molten salts composed of KNO3-NaNO3-NaNO2-LiNO3-LiOH. By adjusting the composition ratio of molten salts and alkaline, the interaction between charged ions and CNT electrons in the molten salt is studied. The alkaline molten salts can stably disperse CNTs and do not destroy their lengths, thereby offering better electric conductivity. This work will provide a new yet effective method for dispersing CNTs with high aspect ratios, which are important for the application of CNTs and other nanocarbons.

Abstract
High-voltage resistant quasi-solid-state polymer electrolytes (QSPEs) are promising for enhancing the energy density of lithium-metal batteries in practice. However, side reactions occurring at the interfaces between the anodes or cathodes and QSPEs considerably reduce the lifespan of high-voltage LMBs. In this study, a copolymer of vinyl ethylene carbonate (VEC) and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) was used as the framework, with a cellulose membrane (CE) as the supporting layer. Based on density functional theory calculations, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Pyr14TFSI), an ionic liquid, was screened because of its lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level as a modifying agent for the in situ P(VECx-EGy)/Pyrz/LiTFSI@CE QSPEs synthesis. Pyr14+, with a lithiophobic alkyl chain, forms a dense positive ion shielding layer on the protruding tips of deposited lithium, facilitating uniform and smooth lithium deposition. Pyr14TFSI assists in constructing a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on the Li surface enriched with LiF, Li3N, and RCOOLi. The modulation of lithium deposition behavior on the anode by Pyr14TFSI ensures stable Li plating/stripping for >1500 h. A Li-Cu cell exhibits stable cycling for >200 cycles at a current density of 0.05 mA cm-2, with an average Coulombic efficiency of 92.7%. In situ polymerization ensures that P(VECx-EGy)/Pyrz/LiTFSI@CE QSPEs exhibit excellent interface compatibility with the anode and the cathode. The CR2032 button cell Li|P(VEC1-EG0.06)/Pyr0.4/LiTFSI@CE|LiCoO2 demonstrates stable cycling with a negligible capacity decay of 0.083% per cycle for >390 cycles at 25 °C and 0.2 C when using a high-voltage LiCoO2 (4.45 V) cathode. Furthermore, a 7.1 mAh pouch cell achieves stable charge-discharge cycles, confirming the pronounced stability of the as-fabricated QSPE at the interfaces of the high-voltage LiCoO2 cathode and Li anode.

Abstract
The liquid structure of three common ionic liquids (ILs) was investigated by neutron scattering for the first time. The ILs were based on the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion, abbreviated in the literature as [NTf2]- or [TFSI]-, and on the following cations: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C2mim]+; 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C10mim]+; and trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium, [P666,14]+. Comparative analysis of the three ILs confirmed increased size of nonpolar nanodomains with increasing bulk of alkyl chains. It also sheds light on the cation-anion interactions, providing experimental insight into strength, directionality, and angle of hydrogen bonds between protons on the imidazolium ring, as well as H-C-P protons in [P666,14]+, to oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the [NTf2]-. The new Dissolve data analysis package enabled, for the first time, the analysis of neutron scattering data of ILs with long alkyl chains, in particular, of [P666,14][NTf2]. Results generated with Dissolve were validated by comparing outputs from three different models, starting from three different sets of cation charges, for each of the three ILs, which gave convergent outcomes. Finally, a modified method for the synthesis of perdeuterated [P666,14][NTf2] has been reported, with the aim of reporting a complete set of synthetic and data processing approaches, laying robust foundations that enable the study of the phosphonium ILs family by neutron scattering.

Abstract
Separation and reaction processes are key components employed in the modern chemical industry, and the former accounts for the majority of the energy consumption therein. In particular, hydrocarbon separation and purification processes, such as aromatics extraction, desulfurization, and denitrification, are challenging in petroleum refinement, an industrial cornerstone that provides raw materials for products used in human activities. The major technical shortcomings in solvent extraction are volatile solvent loss, product entrainment leading to secondary pollution, low separation efficiency, and high regeneration energy consumption due to the use of traditional organic solvents with high boiling points as extraction agents. Ionic liquids (ILs), a class of designable functional solvents or materials, have been widely used in chemical separation processes to replace conventional organic solvents after nearly 30 years of rapid development. Herein, we provide a systematic and comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art progress in ILs in the field of extractive hydrocarbon separation (i.e., aromatics extraction, desulfurization, and denitrification) including (i) molecular thermodynamic models of IL systems that enable rapid large-scale screening of IL candidates and phase equilibrium prediction of extraction processes; (ii) structure-property relationships between anionic and cationic structures of ILs and their separation performance (i.e., selectivity and distribution coefficients); (iii) IL-related extractive separation mechanisms (e.g., the magnitude, strength, and sites of intermolecular interactions depending on the separation system and IL structure); and (iv) process simulation and design of IL-related extraction at the industrial scale based on validated thermodynamic models. In short, this Review provides an easy-to-read exhaustive reference on IL-related extractive separation of hydrocarbon mixtures from the multiscale perspective of molecules, thermodynamics, and processes. It also extends to progress in IL analogs, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in this research area, and discusses the current challenges faced by ILs in related separation fields as well as future directions and opportunities.

Abstract
Concepts of sustainability must be developed to overcome the increasing environmental hazards caused by fossil resources. Cellulose derivatives with excellent properties are promising biobased alternatives for petroleum-derived materials. However, a one-pot route to achieve cellulose dissolution and derivatization is very challenging, requiring harsh conditions, high energy consumption, and complex solubilizing. Herein, we design a one-pot tailoring hydronium ion driven dissociation-chemical cross-linking strategy to achieve superfast cellulose dissolution and derivatization for orderly robust cellulose films. In this strategy, there is a powerful driving force from organic acid with a pKa below 3.75 to dissociate H+ and trigger the dissolution and derivatization of cellulose under the addition of H2SO4. Nevertheless, the driving force can only trigger a partial swelling of cellulose but without dissolution when the pKa of organic acid is above 4.26 for the dissociation of H+ is inhibited by the addition of inorganic acid. The cellulose film has high transmittance (up to ∼90%), excellent tensile strength (∼122 MPa), and is superior to commercial PE film. Moreover, the tensile strength is increased by 400% compared to cellulose film prepared by the ZnCl2 solvent. This work provides an efficient solvent, which is of great significance for emerging cellulose materials from renewable materials.

Abstract
Considering that traditional electrolyte models are limited to use in the solvent-rich region, the development of new models to describe the molar conductivity (Λm) over the whole concentration range of ionic liquid (IL)-solvent systems is a meaningful study. Based on the idea of local composition and the law of independent ion migration, a new model is proposed in this study and used to successfully correlate the relationship between Λm and composition over the whole concentration range for 18 IL-solvent systems with satisfactory fitting accuracy. Meanwhile, the electrical conductivity (κ) of the systems is estimated using the calculated Λm. Moreover, the strength of anion-cation, anion-solvent, and cation-solvent interactions in the systems is explored by the obtained energy parameters, and the effect of the solvent on the interactions is investigated. The proposed model provides a new method to accurately describe the conductivity property of IL-solvent systems over the whole concentration range.

Abstract
The physical electrochemistry of the carbon/ionic liquids interface underpins the processes occurring in a vast range of applications spanning electrochemical energy storage, iontronic devices, and lubrication. Elucidating the charge storage mechanisms at the carbon/electrolyte interface will lead to a better understanding of the operational principles of such systems. Herein, we probe the charge stored at the electrochemical double layer formed between model carbon systems, ranging from single-layer graphene to graphite and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMIM-TFSI). The effect of the number of graphene layers on the overall capacitance of the interface is investigated. We demonstrate that in pure EMIM-TFSI and at moderate potential biases, the electronic properties of graphene and graphite govern the overall capacitance of the interface, while the electrolyte contribution to the latter is less significant. In mixtures of EMIM-TFSI with solvents of varying relative permittivity, the complex interplay between electrolyte ions and solvent molecules is shown to influence the charge stored at the interface, which under certain conditions overcomes the effects of relative permittivity. This work provides additional experimental insights into the continuously advancing topic of electrochemical double-layer structure at the interface between room temperature ionic liquids and carbon materials.

Abstract
The utility of alcohol as a hydrogen bonding donor is considered a providential avenue for moderating the high basicity and reactivity of the fluoride ion, typically used with large cations. However, the practicality of alcohol-fluoride systems in reactions is hampered by the limited understanding of the pertinent interactions between the OH group and F-. Therefore, this study comparatively investigates the thermal, structural, and physical properties of the CsF-2-propanol and CsF-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol systems to explicate the effects of the fluoroalkyl group on the interaction of alcohols and F-. The two systems exhibit vastly different phase diagrams despite the similar saturated concentrations. A combination of spectroscopic analyses, alcohol activity coefficient measurements, and theoretical calculations reveal the fluorinated alcohol system harbors the stronger OH···F- interactions between the two systems. The diffusion coefficient and ionic conductivity measurements attribute the present results to disparate states of ion association in the two systems.

Abstract
The chemical transformation of waste polymers into value-added chemicals is of significance for circular economy and sustainable development. Herein, we report upcycling poly(succinates) (PSS) with amines into N-substituted succinimides over succinimide anion-based ionic liquids (ILs, e.g, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene succinimide, [HDBU][Suc]). Assisted with H2O, [HDBU][Suc]) showed the best performance, which could achieve complete transformation of a series of PSS into succinimide derivatives and corresponding diols under mild and metal-free conditions. Mechanism investigation indicates that the cation-anion confined hydrogen-bonding interactions among IL, H2O, ester group, and amino/amide groups, strengthens nucleophilicity of the N atoms in amino/amide groups, and improves electrophilicity of carbonyl C atom in ester group. The attack of the amino/amide N atom on carbonyl C of ester group results in cleavage of carbonyl C-O bond in polyester and formation of amide group. This strategy is also effective for aminolysis of poly(trimethylene glutarate) to glutarimides, and poly(1,4-butylene adipate) to caprolactone diimides.

Abstract
Ions are important to modulate protein properties, including solubility and stability, through specific ion effects. Ionic liquids (ILs) are designer salts with versatile ion combinations with great potential to control protein properties. Although protein-ion binding of common metals is well-known, the IL effect on proteins is not well understood. Here, we employ the model protein lysozyme in dilute and concentrated IL solutions to determine the specific ion binding effect on protein phase behaviour, activity, size and conformational change, aggregation and intermolecular interactions. A combination of spectroscopic techniques, activity assays, small-angle X-ray scattering, and crystallography highlights that ILs, particularly their anions, bind to specific sites in the protein hydration layer via polar contacts on charged, polar and aromatic residues. The specific ion binding can induce more flexible loop regions in lysozyme, while the ion binding in the bulk phase can be more dynamic in solution. Overall, the protein behaviour in ILs depends on the net effect of nonspecific interactions and specific ion binding. Compared to formate, the nitrate anion induced high protein solubility, low activity, elongated shape and aggregation, which is largely owing to its higher propensity for ion binding. These findings provide new insights into protein-IL binding interactions and using ILs to modulate protein properties.

Abstract
Soft robotics systems are currently under development using ionic electroactive polymers (i-EAP) as soft actuators for the human-machine interface. However, this endeavor has been impeded by the dilemma of reconciling the competing demands of force and strain in i-EAP actuators. Here, the authors present a novel design called "ions-silica percolated ionic dielectric elastomer (i-SPIDER)", which exhibits ionic liquid-confined silica microstructures that effectively resolve the chronic issue of conventional i-EAP actuators. The i-SPIDER actuator demonstrates remarkable electromechanical conversion capacity at low voltage, thanks to improved ion accumulation facilitated by interpreting electrode polarization at the electrolyte-electrode interface. This approach concurrently enhances both strain (by approximately 1.52%) and force (by roughly 1.06 mN) even at low Young's modulus (merely 5.9 MPa). Additionally, by demonstrating arachnid-inspired soft robots endowed with user-desired tasks through control of various form factors, the development of soft robots using the i-SPIDER that can concomitantly enhance strain and force holds promise as a compelling avenue for ushering in the next generation of miniaturized, low-powered soft robotics.

Abstract
Though local structures in ionic liquids are dominated by strong Coulomb forces, directional hydrogen bonds can also influence the physicochemical properties of imidazolium-based ionic liquids. In particular, the C-2 position of the imidazolium cation is acidic and can bind with suitable hydrogen bond acceptor sites of molecular solvents dissolved in imidazolium-based ionic liquids. In this report, we identify hydrogen-bonded microenvironments of the model ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl) trifluorophosphate, and the changes that occur when molecular solvents are dissolved in it by using a C-D infrared reporter at the C-2 position of the cation. Our linear and nonlinear infrared experiments, along with computational studies, indicate that the molecular solvent dimethyl sulfoxide can form strong hydrogen-bonded dimers with the cation of the ionic liquid at the C-2 position. In contrast, acetone, which is also a hydrogen bond acceptor similar to dimethyl sulfoxide, does not show evidence of cation-solvent hydrogen-bonded conformers at the C-2 position. The outcome of our study on a broad scale strengthens the importance of cation-solute interactions in ionic liquids.

Abstract
The 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR) spectrum is a useful tool for characterizing the hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions in ionic liquids (ILs). As the main hydrogen bond (H-bond) donor of imidazolium-based ILs, the chemical shift (δH2 ) of the proton in the 2-position of the imidazolium ring (H2) exhibits significant and complex solvents, concentrations and anions dependence. In the present work, based on the dielectric constants (ϵ) and Kamlet-Taft (KT) parameters of solvents, we identified that the δH2 are dominated by the solvents polarity and the competitive H-bonding interactions between cations and anions or solvents. Besides, the solvents effects on δH2 are understood by the structure of ILs in solvents: 1) In diluted solutions of inoizable solvents, ILs exist as free ions and the cations will form H-bond with solvents, resulting in δH2 being independent with anions but positively correlated with βS . 2) In diluted solutions of non-ionzable solvents, ILs exist as contact ion-pairs (CIPs) and H2 will form H-bond with anions. Since non-ionizable solvents hardly influence the H-bonding interactions between H2 and anions, the δH2 are not related to βS but positively correlated with βIL .

Abstract
Artificial photosynthetic diluted CO2 reduction directly driven by natural sunlight is a challenging, but promising way to realize carbon-resources recycling utilization. Herein, a three-in-one photocatalytic system of CO2 enrichment, CO2 reduction and H2 O oxidation sites is designed for diluted CO2 reduction. A Zn-Salen-based covalent organic framework (Zn-S-COF) with oxidation and reductive sites is synthesized; then, ionic liquids (ILs) are loaded into the pores. As a result, [Emim]BF4 @Zn-S-COF shows a visible-light-driven CO2 -to-CO conversion rate of 105.88 µmol g-1 h-1 under diluted CO2 (15%) atmosphere, even superior than most photocatalysts in high concentrations CO2 . Moreover, natural sunlight driven diluted CO2 reduction rate also reaches 126.51 µmol g-1 in 5 h. Further experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that the triazine ring in the Zn-S-COF promotes the activity of H2 O oxidation and CO2 reduction sites, and the loaded ILs provide an enriched CO2 atmosphere, realizing the efficient photocatalytic activity in diluted CO2 reduction.

Abstract
When an ionic crystal dissolves in solvent, the positive and negative ions associated with solvent molecules release from the crystal. However, the existing form, interaction, and dynamics of ions in real solution are poorly understood because of the substantial experimental challenge. We observed the diffusion and aggregation of polyoxometalate (POM) ions in water by using liquid phase transmission electron microscopy. Real-time observation reveals an unexpected local reciprocating hopping motion of the ions in water, which may be caused by the short-range polymerized bridge of water molecules. We find that ion oligomers, existing as highly active clusters, undergo frequent splitting, aggregation, and rearrangement in dilute solution. The formation and dissociation of ion oligomers indicate a weak counterion-mediated interaction. Furthermore, POM ions with tetrahedral geometry show directional interaction compared with spherical ions, which presents structure-dependent dynamics.

Abstract
Polyurethane (PU) refers to the polymer containing carbamate groups in its molecular structure, generally obtained by the reaction of isocyanate and alcohol. Because of its flexible formulation, diverse product forms, and excellent performance, it has been widely used in mechanical engineering, electronic equipment, biomedical applications, etc. Through physical or chemical methods, ionic groups are introduced into PU, which gives PU electrical conductivity, flame-retardant, and antistatic properties, thus expanding the application fields of PU, especially in flexible devices such as sensors, actuators, and functional membranes for batteries and gas absorption. In this review, we firstly introduced the characteristics of PU in chemical and microphase structures and their related physical and chemical performance. To improve the performance of PU, ionic liquids (ILs) were applied in the processing or synthesis of PU, resulting in a new type of PU called ionic PU. In the following part of this review, we mainly summarized the fabrication methods of IL-modified PUs via physical blending and the chemical copolymerization method. Then, we summarized the research progress of the applications for IL-modified PUs in different fields, including sensors, actuators, transistors, antistatic films, etc. Finally, we discussed the future development trends and challenges faced by IL-modified PUs.

Abstract
Nonequilibrium assembling systems developed so far have relied on chemical fuels to drive the programmable pH cycles, redox reactions, and metastable bond formations. However, these methods often result in the unwanted accumulation of chemical waste. Herein, we present a novel strategy for achieving cyclic and waste-free nonequilibrium assembly and disassembly of macroscopic hydrogels, utilizing an ionic strength-mediated approach. Our strategy involves using ammonium carbonate as a chemical fuel to temporally regulate the attractions between oppositely charged hydrogels via ionic strength-controlled charge screening and hydrogel elasticity changes. This chemical fuel effectively mediates the assembly/disassembly processes and prevents waste accumulation, as ammonium carbonate can completely decompose into volatile chemical waste. The cyclic and reversible assembly process can be achieved without significant damping due to the self-clearance mechanism, as long as the chemical fuel is repeatedly supplied. This concept holds promise for creating macroscopic and microscopic nonequilibrium systems and self-adaptive materials.

Abstract
Supercapacitors with high energy and power densities have become highly desirable in practical applications. Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as promising electrolytes of supercapacitors owing to their excellent electrochemical stability window (approx. 4-6 V) and good thermal stability. However, the high viscosity (up to 102 mPa s) and low electric conductivity (<10 mS cm-1) at room-temperature extremely reduce the ion diffusion dynamics in the energy storage process, resulting in the unsatisfactory power density and rate performance of supercapacitors. Herein we propose a novel binary ionic liquids (BILs) hybrid electrolyte composed of two kinds of ILs in an organic solvent. Along with the organic solvent with high dielectric constant and low viscosity, the addition of binary cations effectively improves the electric conductivity and reduces the viscosity of IL electrolytes. By mixing trimethyl propylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([TMPA][TFSI]) and N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Pyr14][TFSI]) with an equal mole ratio in acetonitrile (1 M), the as-prepared BILs electrolyte shows superior electric conductivity (44.3 mS cm-1), low viscosity (0.692 mPa s), and a wide electrochemical stability window (4.82 V). The supercapacitors assembled with activated carbon electrodes (commercial mass loading) and this BILs electrolyte achieve a high working voltage of 3.1 V, leading to a maximum energy density of 28.3 W h kg-1 at 803.35 W kg-1 and a maximum power density of 32.16 kW kg-1 at 21.17 W h kg-1, which are obviously superior to those of commercial supercapacitors based on organic electrolytes (2.7 V).

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), as one of the most concerned functional materials in recent decades, have opened up active perspectives for electrocatalysis. In catalyst preparation, ILs act as characteristic active components besides media and templates. Compared with catalysts obtained using ordinary reagents, IL-derived catalysts have a special structure and catalytic performance due to the influence of IL’s special physicochemical properties and structures. This review mainly describes the use of ILs as modifiers and reaction reagents to prepare electrocatalysts for water splitting. The designability of ILs provides opportunities for the ingenious composition of cations or anions. ILs containing heteroatoms (N, O, S, P, etc.) and transition metal anion (FeCl4−, NiCl3−, etc.) can be used to directly prepare metal phosphides, sulfides, carbides and nitrides, and so forth. The special physicochemical properties and supramolecular structures of ILs can provide growth conditions for catalysts that are different from the normal media environment, inducing special structure and high performance. ILs as heteroatom sources are safe, green and easy to operate compared with traditional heteroatom sources. The strategy for using ILs as reagents is expected to realize 100% atomic transformation of reactants, in line with the concept of green chemistry. This review reflects the discovered work with the best findings from the literature. It will offer readers a deeper understanding on the development of IL-derived electrocatalysts and inspire them to ingeniously design high-performance electrocatalysts for water splitting.

Abstract
The piezoelectric effect was discovered over a century ago, and it has found wide application since that time. The direct piezoelectric effect is the production of charge upon application of force to a material, and the converse piezoelectric effect is a change in the material dimension(s) upon the application of a potential. To date, piezoelectric effects have been observed only in solid-phase materials. We report here the observation of the direct piezoelectric effect in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The RTILs 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide (BMIM+TFSI-) and 1-hexyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (HMIM+TFSI-) produce a potential upon the application of force when confined in a cell, with the magnitude of the potential being directly proportional to the force applied. The effect is one order of magnitude smaller than that seen in quartz. This is the first report to our knowledge of the direct piezoelectric effect in a neat liquid. Its discovery has fundamental implications about the organization and dynamics in ionic liquids and invites theoretical treatment.

Abstract
A cascade oxidative annulation reaction of heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs) with internal alkynes catalyzed by [Cp*RhCl2]2 and oxidized by Cu(OAc)2·H2O was developed to efficiently synthesize highly functionalized benzo[de]chromene derivatives in good to excellent yields. The reaction proceeded by the sequential cleavage of C(sp2)-H/O-H and C(sp2)-H/C(sp2)-H bonds. These multicomponent cascade reactions were highly regioselective. In addition, all of the benzo[de]chromene products exhibited intense fluorescence emission in the solid state, and they demonstrated concentration-dependent quenching in the presence of Fe3+, indicating that these compounds could be used in the recognition of Fe3+.

Abstract
We report on dilution-dependent changes in the local environments of chromophores incorporated into room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL)-molecular solvent binary systems where the ionic liquid cation and molecular solvent possess the same alkyl chain length. We have used the RTIL 1-decyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (DMPyrr+TFSI-) and the molecular solvent 1-decanol. Perylene was used as a non-polar probe, and cresyl violet (CV+) was used as a polar probe chromophore. We observe that in both regions there is a change in the chromophore local environments with increasing 1-decanol content. The changes in the nonpolar regions of the binary RTIL-molecular solvent system occur at a lower 1-decanol concentration than changes in the polar regions. Both chromophores reorient as oblate rotors in this binary system, allowing detailed information on the relative values of the Cartesian components of the rotational diffusion constants to be extracted from the experimental data. The induced free charge density gradient, ρf, known to exist in RTILs, persists to high 1-decanol content (1-decanol mole fraction of 0.75), with the structural details of the gradient being reflected in depth-dependent changes in the Cartesian components of the rotational diffusion constants of CV+. This is the first time that changes in molecular organization have been correlated with ρf.

Abstract
Ion exchange membranes (IEMs) are frequently used in water treatment and electrochemical applications, with their ion separation properties largely governed by equilibrium ion partitioning between a membrane and contiguous solution. Despite an expansive literature on IEMs, the influence of electrolyte association (i.e., ion pairing) on ion sorption remains relatively unexplored. In this study, salt sorption in two commercial cation exchange membranes equilibrated with 0.01-1.0 M MgSO4 and Na2SO4 is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Association measurements of salt solutions using conductometric experiments and the Stokes-Einstein approximation show significant concentrations of ion pairs in MgSO4 and Na2SO4 relative to those in simple electrolytes (i.e., NaCl), which is consistent with prior studies of sulfate salts. The Manning/Donnan model, developed and validated for halide salts in previous studies, substantially underpredicts sulfate sorption measurements, presumably due to ion pairing effects not accounted for in this established theory. These findings suggest that ion pairing can enhance salt sorption in IEMs due to partitioning of reduced valence species. By reformulating the Donnan and Manning models, a theoretical framework for predicting salt sorption in IEMs that explicitly considers electrolyte association is developed. Remarkably, theoretical predictions of sulfate sorption are improved by over an order of magnitude by accounting for ion speciation. In some cases, good quantitative agreement is observed between theoretical and experimental values for external salt concentrations between 0.1 and 1.0 M using no adjustable parameters.

Abstract
1-Alkylpyridinium bromide [Cnpy]Br is a common intermediate in chemical synthesis. With the discharge of industrial wastewater, it enters the environment and is toxic to plants. In this study, the impacts of two pyridine-based ionic liquids (ILs), [C3py]Br and [C5py]Br, on the growth and physiology of rape seedlings were investigated at concentrations of 10, 50, 100, 200, 300, and 400 mg/L. Within the concentration range (10-400 mg/L) of [C3py]Br and [C5py]Br treatment, the root length, plant height, activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, and CAT), and the contents of Chla and Chlb showed an increase at low concentrations and a decrease at high concentrations. [C3py]Br and [C5py]Br increased MDA content in rape seedlings leaves in a concentration-dependent manner. It was also found that [C5py]Br was more toxic to rape seedlings than [C3py]Br. The toxicity of pyridine ILs such as [C3py]Br and [C5py]Br to plants should be highly concerned.

Abstract
The functionalization of polymers with sulfonate groups has many important uses, ranging from biomedical applications to detergency properties used in oil-recovery processes. In this work, several ionic liquids (ILs) combining 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations [CnC1im]+ (4 ≤ n ≤ 8) with alkyl-sulfonate anions [CmSO3]- (4 ≤ m ≤ 8) have been studied using molecular dynamics simulations, totalizing nine ionic liquids belonging to two homologous series. The radial distribution functions, structure factors, aggregation analyses, and spatial distribution functions reveal that the increase in aliphatic chain length induces no significant change in the structure of the polar network of the ILs. However, for imidazolium cations and sulfonate anions with shorter alkyl chains, the nonpolar organization is conditioned by the forces acting on the polar domains, namely, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Ionic liquids are attractive liquid materials for many advanced applications. For targeted design, in-depth knowledge about their structure-property-relations is urgently needed. We prepared a set of novel protic ionic liquids (PILs) with a guanidinium cation with either an ether or alkyl side chain and different anions. While being a promising cation class, the available data is insufficient to guide design. We measured thermal and transport properties, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra as well as liquid and crystalline structures supported by ab initio computations and were able to obtain a detailed insight into the influence of the anion and the ether substitution on the physical and spectroscopic properties. For the PILs, hydrogen bonding is the main interaction between cation and anion and the H-bond strength is inversely related to the proton affinity of the constituting acid and correlated to the increase of 1H and 15N chemical shifts. Using anions from acids with lower proton affinity leads to proton localization on the cation as evident from NMR spectra and self-diffusion coefficients. In contrast, proton exchange was evident in ionic liquids with triflate and trifluoroacetate anions. Using imide-type anions and ether side groups decreases glass transitions as well as fragility, and accelerated dynamics significantly. In case of the ether guanidinium ionic liquids, the conformation of the side chain adopts a curled structure as the result of dispersion interactions, while the alkyl chains prefer a linear arrangement.

Abstract
The applicability of ionic liquids (ILs) as the draw solute in a forward osmosis (FO) system was investigated through a study on the effect of the structural change of the anion on the FO performance. This study evaluated ILs composed of tetrabutylphosphonium cation ([P4444]+) and benzenesulfonate anion ([BS]-), para-position alkyl-substituted benzenesulfonate anions (p-methylbenzenesulfonate ([MBS]-) and p-ethylbenzenesulfonate ([EBS-]), and methanesulfonate anion ([MS]-). The analysis of the thermo-responsive properties suggested that the [P4444][MBS] and [P4444][EBS] ILs have lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs), which play a beneficial role in terms of the reusability of the draw solute from the diluted draw solutions after the water permeation process. At 20 wt% of an aqueous solution, the LCSTs of [P4444][MBS] and [P4444][EBS] were approximately 36 °C and 25 °C, respectively. The water flux and reverse solute flux of the [P4444][MBS] aqueous solution with higher osmolality than [P4444][EBS] were 7.36 LMH and 5.89 gMH in the active-layer facing the draw solution (AL-DS) mode at osmotic pressure of 25 atm (20 wt% solution), respectively. These results indicate that the [P4444]+-based ionic structured materials with LCST are practically advantageous for application as draw solutes.

Abstract
Li-O2 batteries with bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide-based ionic liquid (TFSI-IL) electrolyte are promising because TFSI-IL can stabilize O2 - to lower charge overpotential. However, slow Li+ transport in TFSI-IL electrolyte causes inferior Li deposition. Here we optimize weak solvating molecule (anisole) to generate anisole-doped ionic aggregate in TFSI-IL electrolyte. Such unique solvation environment can realize not only high Li+ transport parameters but also anion-derived solid electrolyte interface (SEI). Thus, fast Li+ transport is achieved in electrolyte bulk and SEI simultaneously, leading to robust Li deposition with high rate capability (3 mA cm-2 ) and long cycle life (2000 h at 0.2 mA cm-2 ). Moreover, Li-O2 batteries show good cycling stability (a small overpotential increase of 0.16 V after 120 cycles) and high rate capability (1 A g-1 ). This work provides an effective electrolyte design principle to realize stable Li deposition and high-performance Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
Chemical transformation of spent polyesters into value-added chemicals is substantial for sustainable development but still challenging. Here, we report a simple, metal-free, and efficient aminolysis strategy to upcycle polylactic acid by anilines over lactate-based ionic liquids (e.g., tetrabutylammonium lactate), accessing a series of N-aryl lactamides under mild conditions. This strategy is also effective for degradation of poly(bisphenol A carbonate), affording bisphenol A and corresponding diphenylurea derivatives. It is found that, with the assistance of water, lactate anion as hydrogen-bond donor can efficiently activate carbonyl C atom of polyesters via hydrogen bonding with carbonyl O atom; meanwhile, as hydrogen-bond acceptor, it can enhance nucleophilicity of the N atom of anilines via hydrogen bonding with amino H atom. The nucleophilic attack of N atom of anilines on carbonyl C atom of polyesters results in cleavage of C─O bond of polymers and formation of the target products.

Abstract
Drugs of abuse has drawn intense attention due to increasing concerns to public health and safety. The construction of a sensing platform with the capability to identify them remains a big challenge because of the limitations of synthetic complexity, sensing scope and receptor extendibility. Here a kind of poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) photonic crystal spheres doped with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens was developed. As diverse noncovalent interactions involve in PIL moieties, the single sphere shows different binding affinity to a broad range of psychoactive substances. Furthermore, the dual-channel signals arising from photonic crystal structures and sensitive AIE-luminogens provide high-dimensional information for discriminative detection of targets, even for molecules with slight structural differences. More importantly, such single sphere sensing platform could be flexibly customized through ion-exchange, showing great extendibility to fabricate high-efficiency/high-throughput sensing arrays without tedious synthesis.

Abstract
Transport of ions through solid polymeric electrolytes (SPEs) involves a complicated interplay of ion solvation, ion-ion interactions, ion-polymer interactions, and free volume. Nonetheless, prevailing viewpoints on the subject promote a significantly simplified picture, likening ion transport in a polymer to that in an unstructured fluid at low solute concentrations. Although this idealized liquid transport model has been successful in guiding the design of homogeneous electrolytes, structured electrolytes provide a promising alternate route to achieve high ionic conductivity and selectivity. In this perspective, we begin by describing the physical origins of the idealized liquid transport mechanism and then proceed to examine known cases of decoupling between the matrix dynamics and ionic transport in SPEs. Specifically we discuss conditions for "decoupled" mobility that include a highly polar electrolyte environment, a percolated path of free volume elements (either through structured or unstructured channels), high ion concentrations, and labile ion-electrolyte interactions. Finally, we proceed to reflect on the potential of these mechanisms to promote multivalent ion conductivity and the need for research into the interfacial properties of solid polymer electrolytes as well as their performance at elevated potentials.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely used in transition metal-catalyzed processes, but the precise behavior of ILs and catalysts in these reactions is unknown. Herein, the role of ILs and the interaction pattern between Shvo's catalyst and ILs have been revealed with characterization by 1H NMR and crystallography based on the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2. ILs promote the dissociation of Shvo's catalyst and enhance the rate of production of CO. The CO that is produced is subsequently used in the tandem hydroformylation-reduction of alkenes to produce valuable alcohols. In the absence of ILs, formamides can be obtained by N-formylation of most primary or secondary amines.

Abstract
One potential advantage of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is the ability to solution process the precursors and deposit films from solution1,2. At present, spin coating, blade coating, spray coating, inkjet printing and slot-die printing have been investigated to deposit hybrid perovskite thin films3-6. Here we expand the range of deposition methods to include screen-printing, enabled by a stable and viscosity-adjustable (40-44,000 cP) perovskite ink made from a methylammonium acetate ionic liquid solvent. We demonstrate control over perovskite thin-film thickness (from about 120 nm to about 1,200 nm), area (from 0.5 × 0.5 cm2 to 5 × 5 cm2) and patterning on different substrates. Printing rates in excess of 20 cm s-1 and close to 100% ink use were achieved. Using this deposition method in ambient air and regardless of humidity, we obtained the best efficiencies of 20.52% (0.05 cm2) and 18.12% (1 cm2) compared with 20.13% and 12.52%, respectively, for the spin-coated thin films in normal devices with thermally evaporated metal electrodes. Most notably, fully screen-printing devices with a single machine in ambient air have been successfully explored. The corresponding photovoltaic cells exhibit high efficiencies of 14.98%, 13.53% and 11.80% on 0.05-cm2, 1.00-cm2 and 16.37-cm2 (small-module) areas, respectively, along with 96.75% of the initial efficiency retained over 300 h of operation at maximum power point.
