Abstract
Using bulk metals as catalysts to get high efficiency in electro-reduction of CO2 is ideal but challenging. Here, we report the coupling of bulk metal electrodes and a ternary ionic-liquid-based electrolyte, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate/1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate/MeCN to realize highly efficient electro-reduction of CO2 to CO. Over various bulk metal electrodes, the ternary electrolyte not only increases the current density but also suppresses the hydrogen evolution reaction to obtain a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) toward CO. FECO could maintain ∼100% over a wide potential range, and metal electrodes showed very high stability in the ternary electrolyte. It is demonstrated that the aggregation behavior of the ternary electrolyte and the arrangement of two kinds of IL cations with different chain lengths in the electrochemical double layer not only increase the wettability to electrode and CO2 adsorption but also extend the diffusion channel of H+, rendering the high current density and FECO.

Tuning Functionalized Ionic Liquids for CO2 Capture. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911401.

Abstract
The increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is related to global climate change. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is an important technology to reduce CO2 emissions and to deal with global climate change. The development of new materials and technologies for efficient CO2 capture has received increasing attention among global researchers. Ionic liquids (ILs), especially functionalized ILs, with such unique properties as almost no vapor pressure, thermal- and chemical-stability, non-flammability, and tunable properties, have been used in CCUS with great interest. This paper focuses on the development of functionalized ILs for CO2 capture in the past decade (2012~2022). Functionalized ILs, or task-specific ILs, are ILs with active sites on cations or/and anions. The main contents include three parts: cation-functionalized ILs, anion-functionalized ILs, and cation-anion dual-functionalized ILs for CO2 capture. In addition, classification, structures, and synthesis of functionalized ILs are also summarized. Finally, future directions, concerns, and prospects for functionalized ILs in CCUS are discussed. This review is beneficial for researchers to obtain an overall understanding of CO2-philic ILs. This work will open a door to develop novel IL-based solvents and materials for the capture and separation of other gases, such as SO2, H2S, NOx, NH3, and so on.

Abstract
Detection of hazardous compounds can alleviate risk to human health. However, it remains a challenge to develop easy-to-use testing tools for carcinogenic aromatic amines. Herein, we presented a conjugated molecule-based aniline detector, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), through the solution-processable strategy. The pentacene-based dispersed phase is achieved using the state-of-the-art ionic liquids (ILs) as the continuous phase, based on which MMMs are easily manufactured by a solution process. Moreover, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum mechanical calculations suggested that hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction between ILs cations and pentacene could promote the dissolution. These prepared MMMs can offer easy-operation and on-site detection of carcinogenic primary aromatic amines with eye-readable fluorescence signal. This work provides a paradigm for the design of a portable testing device for various hazardous compounds.

Abstract
The world's population explosion creates a need for natural resources for energy, which will become a significant contributor to global climate change. As we all know, carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most critical elements of the global greenhouse gas effect. CO2 capture and storage innovations have piqued researchers' attention in recent decades. Compared to other methods, membrane separation has some positive performance in CO2 capture. CO2 capture with membrane separation using enhanced ionic liquids (ILs) is described in this review. ILs have made an appearance in CO2 capture work as the potential additive, and companies and academics have been interested in CO2 separation for the past two decades. This article comprehensively analyzes the current modern approach in ILs and IL-based membranes for gas separation processes. Based on the latest literature and performance data, this work provides a complete compressive examination of types of ILs and IL-supported membrane performances. ILs for CO2 capture were also explored, and IL-based membranes for different ILs were also studied. This study emphasizes the supremacy of novel ILs for CO2 capture in membrane separation.

Abstract
Low-temperature gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) abatement is an objective demand in industrial flue gas treatment. In this work, we proposed a new approach for Hg0 capture via weak interaction of ionic liquids. Ionic liquids with varied anions (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thioacetate ([Bmim][ThAc]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyldithiocarbamate ([Bmim][DTCR]), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylxanthate ([Bmim][EX])) were designed and synthesized. The interaction energies between ionic liquids and elemental mercury were proved to be positively related to mercury removal efficiency, revealing that the electrostatic interaction derived physical adsorption from anions is the dominant factor affecting mercury removal performance. [Bmim][ThAc] with the largest anionic electrostatic interaction energy showed the best mercury abatement performance, achieving a Hg0 removal efficiency of over 98% and an adsorption capacity of 10.66 mg/g at 50 °C. The influence of temperature and the results of mercury temperature-programmed desorption (Hg-TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) further confirmed that the ionic liquid combines with elemental mercury through physical adsorption. The work provides a new perspective on designing high-efficiency sorbents for mercury removal at low temperature.
