J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 671:516-528. [PMID: 38815387 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
With the advancement of wearable and implantable medical devices, hydrogel flexible bioelectronic devices have attracted significant interest due to exhibiting tissue-like mechanical compliance, biocompatibility, and low electrical resistance. In this study, the development and comprehensive performance evaluation of poly(acrylic acid)/ N,N'-bis(acryloyl) cystamine/ 1-butyl-3-ethenylimidazol-1-ium:bromide (PAA/NB/IL) hydrogels designed for flexible sensor applications are introduced. Engineered through a combination of physical and chemical cross-linking strategies, these hydrogels exhibit strong mechanical properties, high biocompatibility, and effective sensing capabilities. At 95 % strain, the compressive modulus of PAA/NB/IL 100 reach up to 3.66 MPa, with the loading-unloading process showing no significant hysteresis loop, indicating strong mechanical stability and elasticity. An increase in the IL content was observed to enlarge the porosity of the hydrogels, thereby influencing their swelling behavior and sensing functionality. Biocompatibility assessments revealed that the hemolysis rate was below 5 %, ensuring their suitability for biomedical applications. Upon implantation in rats, a minimal acute inflammatory response was observed, comparable to that of the biocompatibility control poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA). These results suggest that PAA/NB/IL hydrogels hold promise as biomaterials for biosensors, offering a balance of mechanical integrity, physiological compatibility, and sensing sensitivity, thereby facilitating advanced healthcare monitoring solutions.

Abstract
Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) is an experimental technique that can measure parameters of mobility, such as diffusion jump rate and jump length, as well as localized relaxations of chemical species (molecules, ions, and segments) at atomic and nanometer length scales. Due to the high penetrative power of neutrons and their sensitivity to neutron scattering cross-section of chemical species, QENS can effectively probe mobility inside most bulk materials. This review focuses on QENS experiments performed using a neutron backscattering silicon spectrometer (BASIS) to explore the dynamics in various materials and understand their structure-property relationship. BASIS is a time-of-flight near-backscattering inverted geometry spectrometer with very high energy resolution (approximately 0.0035 meV of full width at half maximum), allowing measurements of dynamics on nano to picosecond timescales. The science areas studied with BASIS are diverse, with a focus on soft matter topics, including traditional biological and polymer science experiments, as well as measurements of fluids ranging from simple hydrocarbons and aqueous solutions to relatively complex room-temperature ionic liquids and deep-eutectic solvents, either in the bulk state or confined. Additionally, hydrogen confined in various materials is routinely measured on BASIS. Other topics successfully investigated at BASIS include quantum fluids, spin glasses, and magnetism. BASIS has been in the user program since 2007 at the Spallation Neutron Source of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, an Office of Science User Facility supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. Over the past sixteen years, BASIS has contributed to various scientific disciplines, exploring the structure and dynamics of many chemical species and their fabrication for practical applications. A comprehensive review of BASIS contributions and capabilities would be an asset to the materials science community, providing insights into employing the neutron backscattering technique for advanced materials characterization.

Abstract
Intensifying the synergy between confined carbon nanopores and ionic liquids (ILs) and a deep comprehension of the ion behavior is required for enhancing the capacitive storage performance. Despite many theoretical insights on the storage mechanism, experimental verification has remained lacking due to the intricate nature of pore texture. Here, a compressed micropore-rich carbon framework (CMCF) with tailored monolayer and bilayer confinement pores is synthesized, which exhibits a compatible ionophilic interface to accommodate the IL [EMIM][BF4]. By deploying in situ Raman spectroscopy, in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, the effect of the pore textures on ions storage behaviors is elucidated. A voltage-induced ion gradient filling process in these ionophilic pores is proposed, in which ion exchange and co-ion desorption dominate the charge storage process. Moreover, it is established that the monolayer confinement of ions enhances the capacity, and bilayer confinement facilitates the charging dynamics. This work may guide the design of nanoconfinement carbon for high-energy-density supercapacitors and deepen the understanding of the charge storage mechanism in ionophilic pores.

Abstract
Low-hysteresis merits can help polymeric gel materials survive from consecutive loading cycles and promote life span in many burgeoning areas. However, it is a big challenge to design low-hysteresis and tough polymeric gel materials, especially for ionogels. This can be attributed to the fact that higher viscosities of ionic liquids (ILs) would increase chain friction of polymeric gels and eventually dissipate large amounts of energy under deformation. Herein, a chemical design of ionogels is proposed to achieve low-hysteresis characteristics in both mechanical and electric aspects via hierarchical aggregates formed by supramolecular self-assembly of quadruple H-bonds in a soft IL-rich polymeric matrix. These self-assembled nanoaggregates not only can greatly reinforce the polymeric matrix and enhance resilience, but also exhibit low-energy-dissipating features under stress conditions, simultaneously benefiting for low-hysteresis properties. These aggregates can also promote toughness and subsequent anti-fatigue properties in response to external cyclic mechanical stimuli. More importantly, these ionogels are presented as a model system to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the low hysteresis and fatigue resistance. Based on these findings, it is further demonstrated that the supramolecular low-hysteresis strategy is universal.

Abstract
The dynamics of ion transport at the interface is the critical factor for determining the performance of an electrochemical energy storage device. While practical applications are realized in concentrated electrolytes and nanopores, there is a limited understanding of their ion dynamic features. Herein, we studied the interfacial ion dynamics in room-temperature ionic liquids by transient single-particle imaging with microsecond-scale resolution. We observed slowed-down dynamics at lower potential while acceleration was observed at higher potential. Combined with simulation, we found that the microstructure evolution of the electric double layer (EDL) results in potential-dependent kinetics. Then, we established a correspondence between the ion dynamics and interfacial ion composition. Besides, the ordered ion orientation within EDL is also an essential factor for accelerating interfacial ion transport. These results inspire us with a new possibility to optimize electrochemical energy storage through the good control of the rational design of the interfacial ion structures.

Abstract
Ionic liquids have been widely used to improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and are generally believed to passivate defects on the grain boundaries of perovskites. However, few studies have focused on the relevant effects of ionic liquids on intragrain defects in perovskites which have been shown to be critical for the performance of PSCs. In this work, the effect of ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide (HMII) on intragrain defects of formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) perovskite is investigated. Abundant {111}c intragrain planar defects in pure FAPbI3 grains are found to be significantly reduced by the addition of the ionic liquid HMII, shown by using ultra-low-dose selected area electron diffraction. As a result, longer charge carrier lifetimes, higher photoluminescence quantum yield, better charge carrier transport properties, lower Urbach energy, and current-voltage hysteresis are achieved, and the champion power conversion efficiency of 24.09% is demonstrated. These observations suggest that ionic liquids significantly improve device performance resulting from the elimination of {111}c intragrain planar defects.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are an exciting class of electrolytes finding applications in many areas from energy storage to solvents, where they have been touted as "designer solvents" as they can be mixed to precisely tailor the physiochemical properties. As using machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) to simulate ILs is still relatively unexplored, several questions need to be answered to see if MLIPs can be transformative for ILs. Since ILs are often not pure, but are either mixed together or contain additives, we first demonstrate that a MLIP can be trained to be compositionally transferable; i.e., the MLIP can be applied to mixtures of ions not directly trained on, while only being trained on a few mixtures of the same ions. We also investigated the accuracy of MLIPs for a novel IL, which we experimentally synthesize and characterize. Our MLIP trained on ∼200 DFT frames is in reasonable agreement with our experiments and DFT.

Abstract
In this study, the high electrophilicity of carbonyl carbons attached to cationic heterocycles was observed. Triazolium-substituted esters underwent catalyst-free amidation with aliphatic amines at -50 °C and reduction with NaBH4 at -100 °C. The origin and generality of the high reactivity of these esters were systematically investigated. The findings of this work were utilized for the postmodification of N-heterocyclic carbenes, which are utilized as promising ligands in a wide range of transition-metal-catalyzed reactions.

Here, we have synthesized six dihydroxyl-functionalized ionic liquids for phase behavior studies at low temperature via crystallographic methods, Raman spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Phase varieties are observed depending on the direction and strength of hydrogen bonding. Our studies also show that the ILs could be potentially excellent phase-change thermal storage materials with nearly no change of the phase transition enthalpy.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising next-generation energy storage devices, yet suffer from the issues of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and intricate side reactions on the Zn anode surface. The hydrogen (H)-bond networks play a critical role in interfacial proton transport that may closely relate to HER but are rarely investigated. Herein, we report a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) strategy which is constructed by anchoring ionic liquid cations on Ti3C2Tx substrate for HER-free Zn anode. Molecule dynamics simulations reveal that the rationally designed SAM with a high coordination number of water molecules (25-27, 4-6 for Zn2+) largely reduces the interfacial densities of H2O molecules, therefore breaking the connectivity of H-bond networks and blocking proton transport on the interface, by which the HER is suppressed. Then, a series of in situ characterizations demonstrate that negligible amounts of H2 gas are collected from the Zn@SAM-MXene anode. Consequently, the symmetric cell enables a long-cycling life of 3000 h at 1 mA cm-2 and 1000 h at 5 mA cm-2. More significantly, the stable Zn@SAM-MXene films are successfully used for coin full cells showing high-capacity retention of over 94 % after 1000 cycles and large-area (10×5 cm2) pouch cells with desired performance.

Abstract
Nature has inspired scientists to fabricate adhesive materials for applications in many burgeoning areas. However, it is still a significant challenge to develop small-molecule adhesives with high-strength, low-temperature and recyclable properties, although these merits are of great interest in various aspects. Herein, we report a series of strong adhesives based on low-molecular-weight molecular solids driven by the terminal modification of ionic liquids (ILs) and subsequent supramolecular self-assembly. The emergence of high strength and liquid-to-solid transitions for these supramolecular aggregates relies on modifying IL with a high melting point motif and enriching the types of noncovalent interactions in the original ILs. Using this strategy, we demonstrate that our IL-based molecular solids can efficiently obtain a high adhesion strength (up to 8.95 MPa). Importantly, we elucidate the mechanism underlying the reversible and strong adhesion enabled by monomer-to-polymer transitions. These fundamental findings provide guidance for the design of high-performance supramolecular adhesive materials.

Abstract
An [Et3NH][HSO4] ionic-liquid catalyzed, intermolecular C-N bond formation for 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole synthesis was achieved by the reaction of OPD and substituted aldehydes at ambient reaction conditions. Operational simplicity, use of easily available substrate and reagents, good yields (74-95 %) in short reaction time (4-18 min), simple work-up, and column chromatographic free synthesis are the remarkable features of this new protocol. The applicability of [Et3NH][HSO4] ionic-liquid as a green and inexpensive catalyst with good recyclability and compatibility with a broad range of functional group having heteroatom, electron-withdrawing, and electron-releasing groups manifested the sustainability, eco-friendliness, and efficiency of the present methodology. Moreover, the antioxidant studies of the synthesized compounds using DPPH and ABTS assays were appealing and several synthesized compounds showed significant antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted considerable interest in the last two decades owing to their unique fluorescent properties. Herein, N-octylpyridine hydrogen sulphate ([OP]HSO4) was synthesised and characterised using 1H NMR and infrared spectroscopies. In addition, the fluorescence spectra of [OP]HSO4 in water, methanol, ethanol and acetonitrile were studied. In a single solvent, as the concentration of the solvent (methanol, ethanol or acetonitrile) increases, the fluorescence intensity of the IL first increases and then decreases. A similar trend was observed in their mixed solvents with water. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity of [OP]HSO4 decreases with increasing temperature. A fluorescence intensity reduction of only 4.46% for [OP]HSO4 after continuous scanning for 40 cycles under the maximum excitation state was analysed. The lack of photobleaching observed in [OP]HSO4 indicates its good photobleaching resistance.

Abstract
Herein, a fiber-supported iron-based ionic liquid as a type of fibrous catalyst has been developed for the synthesis of bioactive 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones (DHPMs) via three-component Biginelli reactions in a cleaner manner. The described fibrous catalyst was obtained from the commercially available polyetheretherketone (PEEK) fiber by postfunctionalization processes and was characterized and analyzed in detail by means of diversified technologies. Furthermore, the fiber-supported iron-based ionic liquids could mediate the classical three-component Biginelli reactions to proceed smoothly to gain a variety of substituted DHPMs with yields of up to 99%. The superior catalytic activities of the fibrous catalyst were ascribed to the quasi-homogeneous medium by ionic liquids generated in the surface layer of the PEEK fiber, which could afford an appropriate reaction zone and could further be available for the aggregation of substrates to facilitate the three-component reaction. Notably, the fibrous catalyst is available for recycling over 10 runs just by a pair of tweezers, and the operational procedure was capable of enlarging the catalytic system to the gram-scale without any performance degradation, which provided a cleaner manner to take advantage of the iron-based catalyst in organic synthesis with potential industrialization prospects.

Abstract
In this study, we systematically analyze the surface tension and Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with different anions ([NTf2]-, [PF6]-, [I]-, and [Br]-). These anions are combined with the classical 1-alkyl-3-methyl-substituted imidazolium cations ([CnC1Im]+) and a group of oligoether-functionalized imidazolium cations ([(mPEGn)2Im]+) based on methylated polyethylene glycol (mPEGn). In detail, the influences of the length of the alkyl- and the mPEGn-chain, the anion size, and the water content are investigated experimentally. For [CnC1Im]+-based ILs, the surface tension decreases with increasing alkyl chain length in all cases, but the magnitude of this decrease depends on the size of the anion ([NTf2]- < [PF6]- < [Br]- ≤ [I]-). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on [CnC1Im]+-based ILs indicate that these differences are caused by the interplay of charged and uncharged domains, in particular in the different anions, which affects the ability of the alkyl chains of the cation to orient toward the liquid-gas interface. An increase in the mPEGn-chain length of the [(mPEGn)2Im][A] ILs does not significantly influence the surface tension. These changes upon variation of the cation/anion combination do not correlate with the evolution of the HSPs for the two sets of ILs. Finally, our data suggest that significant water contents up to water mole fractions of x(H2O) = 0.25 do not significantly affect the surface tension of the studied binary IL-water mixtures.

Abstract
Cellulose, renowned for its excellent biocompatibility, finds extensive applications in both industrial and laboratory settings. However, few studies have specifically addressed the mechanistic evolution of hydrogen bond networks in cellulose during the dissolution and regeneration processes. In this research, the regeneration mechanism of cellulose in water and ethanol is investigated through molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate that the ability of water molecules to disrupt hydrogen bonds between cellulose and ionic liquids is stronger than that of ethanol, which is more conducive to promoting the regeneration of cellulose. Besides, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy coupled with two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy techniques are employed to unveil the evolution sequence of hydrogen bonds during dissolution and regeneration: ν(OH) (absorbed water) → ν(O3-H3···O5) (intrachain) → ν(O6-H6···O3') (interchain) → ν(O2-H2···O6) (intrachain) → ν(OH) (free). This study not only enhances our understanding of the intricate hydrogen bond dynamics in cellulose dissolution and regeneration but also provides a foundation for the expanded application of cellulose in diverse fields.

Abstract
Recently, composite materials consisting of ionic liquids (ILs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted a great deal of attention due to their fantastic properties. Many theoretical studies have been performed on their special structures and gas separation applications. Yet, the mechanism for the diffusion of ILs inside MOF channels still remains unclear. Here, the DFT calculations (e.g., rigid and relaxed potential energy surface, PES, scan) together with frontier orbital analysis, natural charge analysis, and energy decomposition analysis were performed to investigate the diffusion behavior of a typical IL, [C4mim][PF6], into the ZIF-8 SOD cage. The PES profiles indicate that it is quite difficult for the cation [C4min]+ to diffuse into the cage of ZIF-8 through the pristine pores because of the large imidazole steric hindrance, which results in a large energy barrier of ca. 40 kcal·mol-1 at the least. Interestingly, the PES reveals that a successful diffusion could be obtained by thermal contributions, which enlarge the pore size through swing effects at higher temperatures. For example, both [C4mim]+ and [PF6]- could easily diffuse through the channel of the ZIF-8 SOD cage when the pore size was increased to 6.9 Å. Subsequently, electronic structure analyses reveal that the main interactions between [PF6]- or [C4mim]+ and ZIF-8 are the steric repulsion interactions. Finally, the effects of the amounts of [C4mim][PF6] on the ZIF-8 structures were investigated, and the results show that two pairs of [C4mim][PF6] per SOD cage are the most stable in terms of the interaction between energies and structural changes. With these findings, we propose that the high-temperature technique could be employed during the synthesis of IL@MOF membranes, to enrich their family members and their industrial applications.

Abstract
An understanding of the nature of molecular interactions among the ion pairs of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide [EMI[FSI]] can offer a starting point and significant insight into the more dynamic and multiple interactions within the bulk liquid state. In this context, close inspection of ion pair conformers can offer insight into the effects in bulk [EMI][FSI] liquid. The current work, therefore, gives a detailed analysis of the [EMI][FSI] ion pair conformers through analysis of the interaction energies, stabilization energies, and natural orbital of the ion pair conformers. The structures of the cations, anions, and cation-anion ion pairs of the conformers are optimized systematically by the ωB97X-D method with the DGDZVP basis sets, considering both the empirical dispersion corrections and the presence of a polar solvent, and the most stable geometries are obtained. The [FSI]- anions, unlike [TFSI]- anions, exist at the top position with respect to imidazolium rings. The presence of out-of-plane interactions between the [EMI]+ and [FSI]- ions is in good agreement with the stronger interactions of the [FSI]- anions with alkyl group hydrogens. The presence of out-of-plane conformers could also be related to the interaction of the anion with the π clouds of the [EMI]+ ring. In the [EMI]+ cation, the aromatic ring is π-acidic due to the presence of a positive charge in the N1-C1-N2 ring, which leads to the presence of [FSI]- anion donor [EMI]+ π-acceptor type interactions. The [EMI]+ cation and [FSI]- anions tend to form multiple σ* and π* interactions but reduce the strength of the individual contributions from a potential (linear) maximum. For the ion pair [EMI][FSI], the absolute value of the interaction energies is lower than the normal hydrogen bond energy (50 kJ/mol), which indicates that there is a very weak electrostatic interaction between the [EMI]+ cations and [FSI]- anions. The weaker attraction between the [EMI]+ and [FSI]- ions is suggested to contribute to the larger diffusion coefficients of the ions.

Abstract
Fine design of surface charge properties of polyamide membranes is crucial for selective ionic and molecular sieving. Traditional membranes face limitations due to their inherent negative charge and limited charge modification range. Herein, we report a facile ionic liquid-decoupled bulk/interfacial diffusion strategy to elaborate the double charge flips of polyamide membranes, enabling on-demand transformation from inherently negative to highly positive and near-neutral charges. The key to these flips lies in the meticulous utilization of ionic liquid that decouples intertwined bulk/interfacial diffusion, enhancing interfacial while inhibiting bulk diffusion. These charge-tunable polyamide membranes can be customized for impressive separation performance, for example, profound Cl-/SO42- selectivity above 470 in sulfate recovery, ultrahigh Li+/Mg2+ selectivity up to 68 in lithium extraction, and effective divalent ion removal in pharmaceutical purification, surpassing many reported polyamide nanofiltration membranes. This advancement adds a new dimension to in the design of advanced polymer membranes via interfacial polymerization.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with maximized metal atom utilization and intriguing properties are of utmost importance for energy conversion and catalysis science. However, the lack of a straightforward and scalable synthesis strategy of SACs on diverse support materials remains the bottleneck for their large-scale industrial applications. Herein, we report a general approach to directly transform bulk metals into single atoms through the precise control of the electrodissolution-electrodeposition kinetics in ionic liquids and demonstrate the successful applicability of up to twenty different monometallic SACs and one multimetallic SAC with five distinct elements. As a case study, the atomically dispersed Pt was electrodeposited onto Ni3N/Ni-Co-graphene oxide heterostructures in varied scales (up to 5 cm × 5 cm) as bifunctional catalysts with the electronic metal-support interaction, which exhibits low overpotentials at 10 mA cm-2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, 30 mV) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER, 263 mV) with a relatively low Pt loading (0.98 wt%). This work provides a simple and practical route for large-scale synthesis of various SACs with favorable catalytic properties on diversified supports using alternative ionic liquids and inspires the methodology on precise synthesis of multimetallic single-atom materials with tunable compositions.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising alternative compounds that enable the development of technologies based on their unique properties as solvents or catalysts. These technologies require integrated product and process designs to select ILs with optimal process performances at an industrial scale to promote cost-effective and sustainable technologies. The digital era and multiscale research methodologies have changed the paradigm from experiment-oriented to hybrid experimental-computational developments guided by process engineering. This Review summarizes the relevant contributions (>300 research papers) of process simulations to advance IL-based technology developments by guiding experimental research efforts and enhancing industrial transferability. Robust simulation methodologies, mostly based on predictive COSMO-SAC/RS and UNIFAC models in Aspen Plus software, were applied to analyze key IL applications: physical and chemical CO2 capture, CO2 conversion, gas separation, liquid-liquid extraction, extractive distillation, refrigeration cycles, and biorefinery. The contributions concern the IL selection criteria, operational unit design, equipment sizing, technoeconomic and environmental analyses, and process optimization to promote the competitiveness of the proposed IL-based technologies. Process simulation revealed that multiscale research strategies enable advancement in the technological development of IL applications by focusing research efforts to overcome the limitations and exploit the excellent properties of ILs.

Abstract
The synthesis of high-molecular-weight (Mn up to 62,000 g/mol) polyesters has been achieved by acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of α,ω-dienes prepared from biobased bis(undec-10-enoate) and diols [ethylene glycol (M1), propylene glycol (M2), 1,9-nonanediol (M3), 1,4-benzenedimethanol (M4), and hydroquinone (M5)] using ruthenium-carbene catalysts. Replacement of the solvent during the ADMET polymerization was effective for obtainment of the high-molecular-weight polymers (expressed as P1-P5). The melting temperatures (Tm) in the resultant polyesters were dependent upon the diol (middle) segment employed, and the polymer prepared from M5 exceeded 100 °C (a Tm value of 122.5 °C). The polymerization of M3 and M4 in the presence of 1,4-cis-diacetoxy-2-butene (DAB, as the chain transfer agent) afforded the telechelic polyesters [P3(OAc)2 and P4(OAc)2, respectively] containing acetoxy end groups exclusively. The resultant polymers containing hydroxy group termini [P3(OH)2 and P4(OH)2], prepared by the selective deprotection of the acetoxy end groups, were treated with AlEt3 followed by addition of ε-caprolactone to afford the ABA-type triblock copolymers exclusively, through a living ring-opening polymerization. The depolymerization (hydrolysis) under basic conditions (NaOH aqueous solution) of P3 was explored.

Abstract
One of the critical factors affecting the performance of supercapacitors is thermal management. The design of supercapacitors that operate across a broad temperature range and at high charge/discharge rates necessitates understanding the correlation of the molecular characteristics of the device (such as interfacial structure and inter-ionic and ion-electrode interactions) with its macroscopic properties. In this study, we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the influence of Joule heating on the structure and dynamics of the ionic liquid (IL)/graphite-based supercapacitors. The temperature-dependent electrical double layer (EDL) and differential capacitance-potential (CD-V) curves of two different ([Bmim][BF4] and [Bmim][PF6]) IL-graphene pairs were studied under various thermal gradients. For the [Bmim][BF4] system, the differential capacitance curves transition from 'U' to bell shape under an applied thermal gradient (∇T) in the range from 3.3 K nm-1 to 16.7 K nm-1. Whereas in [Bmim][PF6], we find a positive dependence of differential capacitance with ∇T with a U-shaped CD-V curve. We examine changes in the EDL structure and screening potential (ϕ(z)) as a function of ∇T and correlate them with the trends observed in the CD-V curve. The identified correlation between the interfacial charge density and differential capacitance with thermal gradient would be helpful for the molecular design of the IL-electrode interface in supercapacitors or other chemical engineering applications.

Abstract
The combination of high-capacitance MXenes and wide-electrochemical-window ionic liquids (ILs) has exhibited bright prospects in supercapacitors. Several strategies, such as surficial functionalization and interlayer spacing tuning, have been used to enhance the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. However, the lack of theoretical guidance on these strategies, including the effects of the microenvironment in the interlayer of confined ILs, hindered the further exploration of such devices. Herein, we performed molecular dynamics simulations to comprehensively investigate the effects of the interlayer space and surface terminations of MXene electrodes on capacity. The results show that the electrical double layer (EDL) structure was found to form on the interface between the MXene electrode and ILs electrolyte by analyzing the ion number density and charge density in the nanometer confined spaces. Under the same potential, the -OH terminations significantly impact the ion orientation in the EDL, particularly near the electrode surface, where cations tend to align vertically, allowing the retention of more cations at the electrode surfaces. Interestingly, such an orientation distribution was decisively from the hydrogen bonds expressed by O-H···O between the -OH termination of MXene and -OH groups of ILs. The differential capacitances of the supercapacitors were calculated by the surficial electron density, and it showed that the capacitance is a nearly one-quarter increase in the 14 Å interlayer spacing compared with that of 10 Å under an applied potential of 2 V. At the same time, the Ti3C2(OH)2 electrode had a higher differential capacitance than the Ti3C2O2 electrode, which possibly originates from the stronger hydrogen bonds to contribute to the vertical aggregation of the cations. Our results highlighted the roles of the interlayer spacing distance and surface terminations of the MXene on the performance of the type of supercapacitor.

Abstract
The unique physicochemical properties, flexible structural tunability, and giant chemical space of ionic liquids (ILs) provide them a great opportunity to match different target properties to work as advanced process media. The crux of the matter is how to efficiently and reliably tailor suitable ILs toward a specific application. In this regard, the computer-aided molecular design (CAMD) approach has been widely adapted to cover this family of high-profile chemicals, that is, to perform computer-aided IL design (CAILD). This review discusses the past developments that have contributed to the state-of-the-art of CAILD and provides a perspective about how future works could pursue the acceleration of the practical application of ILs. In a broad context of CAILD, key aspects related to the forward structure-property modeling and reverse molecular design of ILs are overviewed. For the former forward task, diverse IL molecular representations, modeling algorithms, as well as representative models on physical properties, thermodynamic properties, among others of ILs are introduced. For the latter reverse task, representative works formulating different molecular design scenarios are summarized. Beyond the substantial progress made, some future perspectives to move CAILD a step forward are finally provided.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) offer a wide range of promising applications due to their unique and designable properties compared to conventional solvents. Further development and application of ILs require correlating/predicting their pressure-viscosity-temperature behavior. In this review, we firstly introduce methods for calculation of thermodynamic inputs of viscosity models. Next, we introduce theories, theoretical and semi-empirical models coupling various theories with EoSs or activity coefficient models, and empirical and phenomenological models for viscosity of pure ILs and IL-related mixtures. Our modelling description is followed immediately by model application and performance. Then, we propose simple predictive equations for viscosity of IL-related mixtures and systematically compare performances of the above-mentioned theories and models. In concluding remarks, we recommend robust predictive models for viscosity at atmospheric pressure as well as proper and consistent theories and models for P-η-T behavior. The work that still remains to be done to obtain the desired theories and models for viscosity of ILs and IL-related mixtures is also presented. The present review is structured from pure ILs to IL-related mixtures and aims to summarize and quantitatively discuss the recent advances in theoretical and empirical modelling of viscosity of ILs and IL-related mixtures.

Abstract
Zinc ion hybrid capacitors suffer from lack of reversibility and dendrite formation. An electrolyte, based on a solution of a zinc salt in acetonitrile and tetramethylene sulfone, allows smooth zinc deposition with high coulombic efficiency in a Zn||stainless steel cell (99.6% for 2880 cycles at 1.0 mA cm-2 , 1.0 mAh cm-2 ). A Zn||Zn cell operates stably for at least 7940 h at 1.0 mA cm-2 with an area capacity of 10 mAh cm-2 , or 648 h at 90% depth of discharge and 1 mA cm-2 , 9.0 mAh cm-2 . Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the reason for the excellent reversibility: The zinc cation is only weakly solvated than in pure tetramethylene sulfone with the closest atoms at 3.3 to 3.8 Å. With this electrolyte, a zinc||activated-carbon hybrid capacitor exhibits an operating voltage of 2.0 to 2.5 V, an energy-density of 135 Wh kg-1 and a power-density of 613 W kg-1 at 0.5 A g-1 . At the very high current-density of 15 A g-1 , 29.3 Wh kg-1 and 14 250 W kg-1 are achieved with 81.2% capacity retention over 9000 cycles.

Abstract
Chitin is extensively applied in vast applications due to its excellent biological properties, such as biodegradable and non-toxic. About 50 % of waste generated during seafood processing is chitin. Conventionally, chitin is extracted via chemical method. However, it has many shortcomings. Many novel extraction methods have emerged, including enzymatic hydrolysis, microbial fermentation, ultrasonic or microwave-assisted, ionic liquids, and deep eutectic solvents. Chitin and its derivatives-based hydrogels have attracted much attention due to their excellent properties. Nevertheless, they all have many limitations. Therefore, the preparation and application of chitin and its derivatives-based hydrogels are still facing great challenges. This review focuses on the challenges and prospects for sustainable chitin extraction from seafood waste and the preparation and application of chitin and its derivatives-based hydrogels. First section summarizes the mechanism and application of several methods of extracting chitin. The different extraction methods were evaluated from the aspects of yield, degree of acetylation, and protein and mineral residuals. The shortcomings of the extraction methods are also discussed. Next section summarizes the preparation and application of chitin and its derivatives-based hydrogels. Overall, we hope this mini-review can provide a practical reference for selecting chitin extraction methods from seafood and applying chitin and its derivatives-based hydrogels.

Abstract
In order to replace the expensive metal/ligand catalysts and classic toxic and volatile solvents, commonly used for the hydration of alkynes, the hydration reaction of alkynes was studied in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIm-BF4) adding boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3·Et2O) as catalyst. Different ionic liquids were used, varying the cation or the anion, in order to identify the best one, in terms of both efficiency and reduced costs. The developed method was efficaciously applied to different alkynes, achieving the desired hydration products with good yields. The results obtained using a conventional approach (i.e., adding BF3·Et2O) were compared with those achieved using BF3 electrogenerated in BMIm-BF4, demonstrating the possibility of obtaining the products of alkyne hydration with analogous or improved yields, using less hazardous precursors to generate the reactive species in situ. In particular, for terminal arylalkynes, the electrochemical route proved to be advantageous, yielding preferentially the hydration products vs the aldol condensation products. Importantly, the ability to recycle the ionic liquid in subsequent reactions was successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
Aminopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diphosphonium tetrachloroferrate immobilized on halloysite nanotubes [(APTDP)(FeCl4)2@HNT] was prepared and fully characterized using different techniques such as FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), SEM/EDX, elemental mapping, TEM, ICP-OES, and elemental analysis (EA). This nanocatalyst was found to be highly effective for synthesis of various benzothiazole derivatives in excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. Furthermore, bis- and tris-benzothiazoles were smoothly synthesized from dinitrile and trinitrile in the presence of this catalytic system. High yields and purity, easy work up procedure, high catalytic activity (high TON and TOF) and easy recovery and reusability of the catalyst make this method a useful and important addition to the present methodologies for preparation of these vital heterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), due to their inherent structural tunability, outstanding miscibility behavior, and excellent electrochemical properties, have attracted significant research attention in the biomedical field. As the application of ILs in biomedicine is a rapidly emerging field, there is still a need for systematic analyses and summaries to further advance their development. This review presents a comprehensive survey on the utilization of ILs in the biomedical field. It specifically emphasizes the diverse structures and properties of ILs with their relevance in various biomedical applications. Subsequently, we summarize the mechanisms of ILs as potential drug candidates, exploring their effects on various organisms ranging from cell membranes to organelles, proteins, and nucleic acids. Furthermore, the application of ILs as extractants and catalysts in pharmaceutical engineering is introduced. In addition, we thoroughly review and analyze the applications of ILs in disease diagnosis and delivery systems. By offering an extensive analysis of recent research, our objective is to inspire new ideas and pathways for the design of innovative biomedical technologies based on ILs.

Ni S, Gao Y, Yu G, Zhang S, Zeng Z, Sun X. A sustainable strategy for targeted extraction of thorium from radioactive waste leachate based on hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132465. [PMID: 37703731 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the new hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDESs) based on 2-hexyldecanoic acid (HDA) as a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) were used to selectively enrich trace Th from radioactive waste leach solution. These HDESs are characterized by low toxicity, bio-friendliness, low viscosity and sufficient hydrophobicity. Compared with Al, Mg, Ca and RE, HDESs exhibited exceptional selectivity for Th extraction, along with high loading capacity, easy stripping and stable reusability. The mechanism of Th extraction by the HDES is a cation exchange reaction. Based on the thymol (TL):HDA (1:3) HDES, a short flow closed-loop recovery process of Th in the leach solution of radioactive waste residue was developed. After a single-step extraction, the extraction percentage (E%) of Th exceeded 98.0%, while the E% of other elements was less than 0.14%. After stripping, the concentration of Th in the concentrated solution reached 2.16 × 103 mg/L with a purity of 74.2%, which could be directly used for subsequent purification. By adjusting the pH to 4.00, the raffinate was used as a feed solution for RE elements recovery. The HDES-based extraction strategy for Th is simple, safe, efficient and environmentally friendly, providing a new idea for the recovery of radioactive waste residues.

Abstract
In this work, using a combination of scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), the transformations of palladium-containing species in imidazolium ionic liquids in reaction mixtures of the Mizoroki-Heck reaction and in related organic media are studied to understand a challenging question of the relative reactivity of organic halides as key substrates in modern catalytic technologies. The microscopy technique detects the formation of a stable nanosized palladium phase under the action of an aryl (Ar) halide capable of forming microcompartments in an ionic liquid. For the first time, the correlation between the reactivity of the aryl halide and the microdomain structure is observed: Ar-I (well-developed microdomains) > Ar-Br (microphase present) > Ar-Cl (minor amount of microphase). Previously, it is assumed that molecular level factors, namely, carbon-halogen bond strength and the ease of bond breakage, are the sole factors determining the reactivity of aryl halides in catalytic transformations. The present work reports a new factor connected with the nature of the organic substrates used and their ability to form a microdomain structure and concentrate metallic species, highlighting the importance of considering both the molecular and microscale properties of the reaction mixtures.

Abstract
Although ionic liquids (ILs) are of prime interest for the synthesis of various nanomaterials, they are scarcely utilized for the polyhydrido copper(I) [Cu(I)H] clusters. Herein, two air-stable Cu(I)H clusters, [Cu8H6(dppy)6](NTf2)2 (Cu8H6) and {Cu12H9(dppy)6[N(CN)2]3} (Cu12H9), are synthesized in high yields for the first time from the ILs-driven conversion of an unprecedented cluster [Cu7H5(dppy)6](ClO4)2 (Cu7H5) by a facile three-layers diffusion crystal (TLDC) method, strategically introducing IL-NTf2 and IL-N(CN)2 as two types of unusual interfacial crystallized templates, respectively. Their structures are fully characterized by various spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography, which shows that the anion of IL plays an important role as an anion template and an anion ligand in controlling the structural conversion of Cu(I)H clusters. Their photophysical properties are also investigated, and it is found that all reported clusters exhibit red luminescence with λem ranging from 600 to 690 nm.

Abstract
A set of mixed-substituted potassium alkylcyano- and alkylcyanofluoroborates has been synthesized using easily accessible starting compounds and characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and vibrational spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. In addition, single-crystal structures of salts of the cyanoborate anions have been derived from X-ray diffraction experiments. The 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium room temperature ionic liquids ([EMIm]+ -RTILs) with the new borate anions have been synthesized and their physicochemical properties, that is, high thermal and electrochemical stability, low viscosity, and high conductivity, have been compared to the properties of related [EMIm]+ -RTILs. The influence of the different alkyl substituents at boron has been assessed. The exemplary study on the properties with the [EMIm]+ -ILs with the mixed water stable alkylcyanoborate anions points towards the potential of these fluorine-free borate anions, in general.

Abstract
In this article, the specific features of competitive ionic and molecular transport in nanocomposite systems based on network membranes synthesized by radical polymerization of polyethylene glycol diacrylate in the presence of LiBF4, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, ethylene carbonate (EC), and TiO2 nanopowder (d~21 nm) were studied for 1H, 7Li, 11B, 13C, and 19F nuclei using NMR. The membranes obtained were studied through electrochemical impedance, IR-Fourier spectroscopy, DSC, and TGA. The ionic conductivity of the membranes was up to 4.8 m Scm-1 at room temperature. The operating temperature range was from -40 to 100 °C. Two types of molecular and ionic transport (fast and slow) have been detected by pulsed field gradient NMR. From quantum chemical modeling, it follows that the difficulty of lithium transport is due to the strong chemisorption of BF4- anions with counterions on the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles. The theoretical conclusion about the need to increase the proportion of EC in order to reduce the influence of this effect was confirmed by an experimental study of a system with 4 moles of EC. It has been shown that this approach leads to an increase in lithium conductivity in an ionic liquid medium, which is important for the development of thermostable nanocomposite electrolytes for Li//LiFePO4 batteries with a base of lithium salts and aprotonic imidasolium ionic liquid.

Abstract
The highly desirable characteristics of ternary mixtures of ionic liquids, organic solvents, and metal salts make them a promising candidate for use in various electrothermal energy storage and conversion systems. In this study, using large-scale classical molecular dynamics simulations, we looked into 10 different ternary electrolyte mixtures using combinations of [EMIM]+, [BMIM]+, and [OMIM]+ cations with [NO3]-, [BF4]-, [PF6]-, [ClO4]-, [TFO]-, and [NTf2]- anions, tetraglyme, and Li salt to study the effect of ionic liquid composition on the phase behavior of ternary electrolyte mixtures. We uncovered that in these electrolytes, phase separation is mainly a function of pairwise binding energy of the constituents of the mixture. To corroborate this theory, several simulations are performed at various temperatures ranging from 260 to 500 K for each mixture, followed by calculating the binding energy of ionic liquid pairs using density functional theory. Our results verify that the transition temperature for the phase separation of each system is indeed a function of the pairwise binding energy of its ionic liquid pairs. It is also found that in some cases, the diffusion coefficient of the Li+ ions decreased even with the increase in the temperature, an effect that is attributed to the presence of condensed ionic domains in the electrolyte. This study provides a new insight for the design of multicomponent electrolyte mixtures for a wide range of energy applications.

Abstract
One important quest for making high quality materials with amphiphiles is to understand how a disordered self-assembly changes to a stable crystalline state. Herein, we addressed the basic question by investigating the phase transition mechanism of imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) [C16mim]Br, using time-resolved small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS-WAXS), differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. Totally, a hexagonal phase, two lamellar-gel phases, and three lamellar-crystalline phases were observed, showing the special polymorphism of the system. It was demonstrated that at low concentrations the two-dimensional gel phase (Lβ1) transforms into the most stable lamellar-crystal phase (Lc3) through two intermediate crystalline phases Lc1 and Lc2. At high concentrations, the Lβ1 phase changes to a condensed lamellar gel phase (Lβ2) before changing to Lc2 and eventually to Lc3. Comparative studies using [C16mim]Cl and [C16mim]NO3 unveiled that the interactions between the counterions and the headgroups of the IL, as well as the dehydration process, govern the nucleation process of Lc3 and thus the formation of the crystal. The in-depth investigation on the transition mechanism and the phase polymorphism in the present work advances our understanding of the crystallization of amphiphilic ionic liquids in dispersions and would promote future applications.

Abstract
Condensable gases are the sum of condensable and volatile steam or organic compounds, including water vapor, which are discharged into the atmosphere in gaseous form at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Condensable toxic and harmful gases emitted from petrochemical, chemical, packaging and printing, industrial coatings, and mineral mining activities seriously pollute the atmospheric environment and endanger human health. Meanwhile, these gases are necessary chemical raw materials; therefore, developing green and efficient capture technology is significant for efficiently utilizing condensed gas resources. To overcome the problems of pollution and corrosion existing in traditional organic solvent and alkali absorption methods, ionic liquids (ILs), known as "liquid molecular sieves", have received unprecedented attention thanks to their excellent separation and regeneration performance and have gradually become green solvents used by scholars to replace traditional absorbents. This work reviews the research progress of ILs in separating condensate gas. As the basis of chemical engineering, this review first provides a detailed discussion of the origin of predictive molecular thermodynamics and its broad application in theory and industry. Afterward, this review focuses on the latest research results of ILs in the capture of several important typical condensable gases, including water vapor, aromatic VOCs (i.e., BTEX), chlorinated VOC, fluorinated refrigerant gas, low-carbon alcohols, ketones, ethers, ester vapors, etc. Using pure IL, mixed ILs, and IL + organic solvent mixtures as absorbents also briefly expanded the related reports of porous materials loaded with an IL as adsorbents. Finally, future development and research directions in this exciting field are remarked.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) form a variety of nanostructures due to their amphiphilic nature. Recently, unusual structural phenomena have been found in glassy ILs near their glass transition temperatures; however, in all studied cases, IL cations and anions were in the form of separate moieties. In this work, we investigate for the first time such structural anomalies in zwitterionic IL glasses (ZILs), where the cation and anion are bound in a single molecule. Such binding reasonably restricts mutual diffusion of cations and anions, leading to modification of nano-ordering and character of structural anomalies in these glassy nanomaterials, as has been investigated using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In particular, the occurrence of structural anomalies in ZIL glasses was revealed, and their characteristic temperatures were found to be higher compared to common ILs of a similar structure. Altogether, this work broadens the scope of structural anomalies in ionic liquid glasses and indicates new routes to tune their properties.

Abstract
Heavy metal wastewater poses a significant environmental challenge due to its harmful effect on organisms and difficult biodegradation. To address this issue, hydrogel has been used as a promising solution for the adsorption of heavy metal ions in water, offering advantages such as low cost, simple design, and environmental friendliness. In this study, we synthetized a novel poly-acrylamide/acrylic acid/vinyl imidazole bromide (PAM/AA/[Vim]Br2) hydrogel as an effective adsorbent for the removal of NiII, CuII, ZnII, and CrIII from water. The structure of the hydrogel was characterized by using techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). By exploring various parameters such as monomer ratio, neutralization degree, crosslinking agent addition amount, and initiator addition amount, the highest swelling ratio of the PAM/AA/[Vim]Br2 hydrogel reached 40,012%. One of the notable aspects of this study lay in the investigation of the adsorption behavior of the hydrogel towards heavy metal ions at different concentrations. The adsorption isotherm calculations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed distinct adsorption mechanisms. At low concentrations, the hydrogel exhibits a multilayer physical adsorption mechanism, with heavy metal ion removal rates exceeding 80%; while at high concentrations, it demonstrates a monolayer chemical adsorption mechanism, with heavy metal ion removal rates above 90%. This dual mechanism approach distinguishes our study from previous reports on the removal of heavy metal ions using hydrogels and shows good ion adsorption efficiency at both high and low concentrations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to explore the removal of heavy metal ions from water using hydrogels with such intriguing dual mechanisms. Overall, the utilization of the PAM/PAA/[Vim]Br2 hydrogel as an adsorbent for heavy metal ion removal presents a promising and innovative approach, contributing to the development of environmentally friendly solutions for heavy metal wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is considered as a key target for the design and development of COVID-19 drugs and inhibitors. Due to their unique structure and properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have many special interactions with proteins, showing great potential in biomedicine. Nevertheless, few research studies have been carried out on ILs and the spike RBD protein. Here, we explore the interaction of ILs and the RBD protein through large-scale molecular dynamics simulations (4 μs in total). It was found that IL cations with long alkyl chain lengths (nchain) could spontaneously bind to the cavity region of the RBD protein. The longer the alkyl chain is, the stabler the cations bind to the protein. The binding free energy (ΔG) had the same trend, peaking at nchain = 12 with -101.19 kJ/mol. The cationic chain lengths and their fit to the pocket are decisive factors that influence the binding strength of cations and proteins. The cationic imidazole ring has a high contact frequency with phenylalanine and tryptophan, and the hydrophobic residues phenylalanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine are the most interacting residues with side chains of cations. Meanwhile, through analysis of the interaction energy, the hydrophobic and π-π interactions are the main contributors to the high affinity between cations and the RBD protein. In addition, the long-chain ILs would also act on the protein through clustering. These studies not only provide insights into the molecular interaction between ILs and the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 but also contribute to the rational design of IL-based drugs, drug carriers, and selective inhibitors as a therapeutic for SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
This paper reports the synthesis of yellow-charged particles with a core-shell structure by modifying yellow pigment 181 particles using an ionic liquid under the sol-gel and grafting methods. The core-shell particles were characterized using various methods, including energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, colorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and others. The changes in zeta potential and particle size before and after modification were also measured. The results demonstrate that the surface of the PY181 particles was successfully coated with SiO2 microspheres, resulting in weak color change but increased brightness. The shell layer also caused an increase in the particle size. Moreover, the modified yellow particles exhibited apparent electrophoretic response, indicating improved electrophoretic properties. The core-shell structure significantly enhanced the performance of organic yellow pigment PY181, making this method a practical modification approach. This method provides a novel way of improving the electrophoretic performance of color pigment particles that are challenging to directly connect with an ionic liquid, leading to the improved electrophoretic mobility of pigment particles. It is suitable for the surface modification of various pigment particles.

Abstract
We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [C2C1im][NTf2] in the presence of external electric fields (EEFs) of varying strengths to understand the effects of EEFs on the glass transition temperature Tg. We compute Tg with an automated and objective method and observe a depression in Tg when cooling the IL within an EEF above a critical strength. The effect is reversible, and glasses prepared with EEFs recover their original zero-field Tg when heated. By examining the dynamics and structure of the liquid phase, we find that the EEF lowers the activation energy for diffusion, reducing the energetic barrier for movement and consequently Tg. We show that the effect can be leveraged to drive an electrified nonvapor compression refrigeration cycle.

Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient and eco-friendly, ultrasound assisted synthetic strategy for the construction of diversified pyrrolobenzodiazepine-triazole hybrids, which are potentially pharmaceutically important scaffolds, via a domino reaction involving intermolecular electrophilic substitution followed by intramolecular Huisgen 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The USP of the reported protocol is the use of benign and inexpensive, recyclable molecular iodine-ionic liquid synergistic catalytic system cum reaction media for achieving the synthesis. The other salient features of this method are the use of mild reaction conditions, high yield and atom economy, operational simplicity, broad substrate scope and easy workup and purification. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro anti-proliferative activity against various cancer cell lines. From among the synthesized title compounds, 9,9-dimethyl-8-phenyl-9H-benzo [b]pyrrolo [1,2-d][1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-g][1,4]diazepine (7) was found most to be the most active compound exhibiting IC50 value of 6.60, 5.45, 7.85, 11.21, 12.24, 10.12, and 11.32 µM against MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HeLa, SKOV-3, A549, HCT-116 and DLD-1 cell lines, respectively. Further the compounds were found to be non-toxic against normal human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell line.

Abstract
It is essential and of great significance to impart high mechanical performance, environmental stability, and high sensitivity to emerging flexible temperature sensors. In this work, polymerizable deep eutectic solvents are designed and prepared by simply mixing N-cyanomethyl acrylamide (NCMA) containing an amide group and a cyano group in the same side chain with lithium bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide (LiTFSI), and obtain supramolecular deep eutectic polyNCMA/LiTFSI gels after polymerization. These supramolecular gels exhibit excellent mechanical performance (tensile strength of 12.9 MPa and fracture energy of 45.3 kJ m-2 ), strong adhesion force, high-temperature responsiveness, self-healing ability, and shape memory behavior due to the reversible reconstruction ability of amide hydrogen bonds and cyano-cyano dipole-dipole interactions in the gel network. In addition, the gels also demonstrate good environmental stability and 3D printability. To verify its application potential as a flexible temperature sensor, the polyNCMA/LiTFSI gel-based wireless temperature monitor is developed and displays outstanding thermal sensitivity (8.4%/K) over a wide detection range. The preliminary result also suggests the promising potential of PNCMA gel as a pressure sensor.

Abstract
This study concerns the development of sustainable design strategies of aqueous electrolytes for redox flow batteries using redox-active organic materials. A green spontaneous grafting reaction occurs between a redox-active organic radical and an electrochemically activated structural modifier at room temperature through a simple mixing step. Then, a physical mixing method is used to formulate a structured aqueous electrolyte and enables aqueous solubilization of the organic solute from below 0.5 to 1.5 m beyond the conventional dissolution limit. The as-obtained concentrated mixture can be readily used as catholyte for a redox flow battery. A record high discharge cell voltage (1.6 V onset output voltage) in aqueous non-hybrid flow cell is attained by using the studied electrolytes.

Abstract
Critical processing protocols of industrial bimetallic composite ionic liquid (IL) are necessary to assure good mass transfer rates for process optimization and efficient metal recovery. Here, the effects of different conditions on the electrochemical behavior and copper recovery from the industrial bimetallic composite IL are crucial for effective resource utilization. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) shows that the reduction of Cu(I) to Cu(0) during the cathodic reduction region is the irreversible diffusion-controlled process, and the diffusion coefficient increased with temperature which indicated that increasing temperature could promote the diffusion and mass transfer. During electrodeposition, metallic copper is obtained exclusively on the cathode, while CuCl2 accumulates exclusively on the anode. Scanning electron microscopy shows that the micron-size electrodeposits become larger and significantly rougher with increasing temperature and ultrasonic frequency, illustrating that these factors hasten the nucleation and crystallization rates at high overpotentials. The efficiency of copper recovery is greatly improved by employing high temperature and ultrasonic cavitation, and the highest values correspond to r = 76.9% at 80 °C and r = 63.6% at 40 kHz. The study lays the foundation for efficient and rapid recovery of copper from spent ILs.
