Abstract
Serious open-circuit voltage (Voc) loss originating from nonradiative recombination and mismatch energy level at TiO2/perovskite buried interface dramatically limits the photovoltaic performance of all-inorganic CsPbIxBr3-x (x = 1, 2) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) fabricated through low-temperature methods. Here, an ionic liquid (IL) bridge is constructed by introducing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (BMIMAc) IL to treat the TiO2/perovskite buried interface, bilaterally passivate defects and modulate energy alignment. Therefore, the Voc of all-inorganic CsPbIBr2 PSCs modified by BMIMAc (Target-1) significantly increases by 148 mV (from 1.213 to 1.361 V), resulting in the efficiency increasing to 10.30% from 7.87%. Unsealed Target-1 PSCs show outstanding long-term and thermal stability. During the accelerated degradation process (85 °C, RH: 50∼60%), the Target-1 PSCs achieve a champion PCE of 11.94% with a remarkable Voc of 1.403 V, while the control PSC yields a promising PCE of 10.18% with a Voc of 1.319 V. In particular, the Voc of 1.403 V is the highest Voc reported so far in carbon-electrode-based CsPbIBr2 PSCs. Moreover, this strategy enables the modified all-inorganic CsPbI2Br PSCs to achieve a Voc of 1.295 V and a champion efficiency of 15.20%, which is close to the reported highest PCE of 15.48% for all-inorganic CsPbI2Br PSCs prepared by a low-temperature process. This study provides a simple BMIMAc IL bridge to assist bifacial defect passivation and elevate the photovoltaic performance of all-inorganic CsPbIxBr3-x (x = 1, 2) PSCs.

Abstract
Ionogels are highly conductive gels made from ionic liquids dispersed in a matrix made of organic or inorganic materials. Ionogels are known for high ionic conductivity, flexibility, high thermal and electrochemical stability. These characteristics make them suitable for sensing and biosensing applications. This review discusses about the two main constituents, ionic liquids and matrix, used to make ionogels and effect of these materials on the characteristics of ionogels. Here, the material properties like mechanical, electrochemical and stability are discussed for both polymer matrix and ionic liquid. We have briefly described about the fabrication methods like 3D printing, sol-gel, blade coating, spin coating, aerosol jet printing etc., used to make films or coating of these ionogels. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are also briefly summarized. Finally, the last section provides a few examples of application of flexible ionogels in areas like wearables, human-machine interface, electronic skin and detection of biological molecules.

Abstract
Owing to its high sustainable production capacity, cellulose represents a valuable feedstock for the development of more sustainable alternatives to currently used fossil fuel-based materials. Chemical analysis of cellulose remains challenging, and analytical techniques have not advanced as fast as the development of the proposed materials science applications. Crystalline cellulosic materials are insoluble in most solvents, which restricts direct analytical techniques to lower-resolution solid-state spectroscopy, destructive indirect procedures or to 'old-school' derivatization protocols. While investigating their use for biomass valorization, tetralkylphosphonium ionic liquids (ILs) exhibited advantageous properties for direct solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of crystalline cellulose. After screening and optimization, the IL tetra-n-butylphosphonium acetate [P4444][OAc], diluted with dimethyl sulfoxide-d6, was found to be the most promising partly deuterated solvent system for high-resolution solution-state NMR. The solvent system has been used for the measurement of both 1D and 2D experiments for a wide substrate scope, with excellent spectral quality and signal-to-noise, all with modest collection times. The procedure initially describes the scalable syntheses of an IL, in 24-72 h, of sufficient purity, yielding a stock electrolyte solution. The dissolution of cellulosic materials and preparation of NMR samples is presented, with pretreatment, concentration and dissolution time recommendations for different sample types. Also included is a set of recommended 1D and 2D NMR experiments with parameters optimized for an in-depth structural characterization of cellulosic materials. The time required for full characterization varies between a few hours and several days.

Abstract
Asphaltenes are recognized as being troublesome from upstream to downstream in the oil industry due to their tendency to precipitate and self-associate. Their extraction from asphaltenic crude oil for a cost-effective refining process is a crucial and critical challenge in the oil and gas sector. Lignosulfonate (LS), as a by-product of the wood pulping process in the papermaking industry, is a highly available and underutilized feedstock. This study aimed to synthesize novel LS-based ionic liquids (ILs) by reacting lignosulfonate acid sodium salt [Na]2[LS] with different alkyl chains of piperidinium chloride for asphaltene dispersion. The synthesized ILs, 1-hexyl-1-methyl-piperidinium lignosulfonate [C6C1Pip]2[LS], 1-octyl-1-methyl-piperidinium lignosulfonate [C8C1Pip]2[LS], 1-dodecyl-1-methyl-piperidinium lignosulfonate [C12C1Pip]2[LS] and 1-hexadecyl-1-methyl-piperidinium lignosulfonate [C16C1Pip]2[LS] were characterized using FTIR-ATR and 1H NMR for functional groups and structural confirmation. The ILs depicted high thermal stability because of the presence of a long side alkyl chain and piperidinium cation following thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Asphaltene dispersion indices (%) of ILs were tested by varying contact time, temperature and ILs concentration. The obtained indices were high for all ILs, with a dispersion index of more than 91.2% [C16C1Pip]2[LS], representing the highest dispersion at 50,000 ppm. It was able to lower asphaltene particle size diameter from 51 nm to 11 nm. The kinetic data of [C16C1Pip]2[LS] were consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The dispersion index (%), asphaltene particle growth and the kinetic model agreed with the molecular modeling studies of the HOMO-LUMO energy of IL holds.

LIonomers-New Generation of Ionomer: Understanding of Their Interaction and Structuration as a Function of the Tunability of Cation and Anion. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15020370.

Abstract
In this work, by combining maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PPgMA) and three different ionic liquids (ILs), i.e., tributyl (ethyl) phosphonium diethyl phosphate (denoted P+DEP), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyl phosphate (denoted EMIM DEP), and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (denoted EMIM Ac), new ionic PP/IL polymer materials are generated and denoted as LIonomers. The structuration of ILs in LIonomers occurs from a nano/microphase separation process proved by TEM. NMR analyses reveal the existence of ionic-ionic and ionic-dipolar interactions between PPgMA and ILs within LIonomers. The rheological behavior of such IL/polymer combinations interpret the existence of interactions between maleic anhydride group and cation or anion composing the ionic liquid. These interactions can be tuned by the nature of cation (P+DEP vs. EMIM DEP) and anion (EMIM DEP vs. EMIM Ac) but also depend on the IL content. Thermal analyses demonstrate that IL could affect the crystallization process according to different pathways. Thanks to the maleic anhydride/IL interactions, an excellent compromise between stiffness and stretchability is obtained paving the way for processing new polyolefin-based materials.

Abstract
In the current study, we have synthesized an imidazolium based cross-linked polymer, namely, 1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (poly[veim][Tf2N]-TRIM) using trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate as cross linker, and demonstrated its efficiency for the removal of two extensively used ionic dyes—methylene blue and orange-II—from aqueous systems. The detailed characterization of the synthesized poly[veim][Tf2N]-TRIM was performed with the help of 1H NMR, TGA, FT-IR and FE-SEM analysis. The concentration of dyes in aqueous samples before and after the adsorption process was measured using an UV-vis spectrophotometer. The process parameters were optimised, and highest adsorption was obtained at a solution pH of 7.0, adsorbent dosage of 0.75 g/L, contact time of 7 h and dye concentrations of 100 mg/L and 5.0 mg/L for methylene blue and orange-II, respectively. The adsorption kinetics for orange-II and methylene blue were well described by pseudo-first-order and pseudo−second-order models, respectively. Meanwhile, the process of adsorption was best depicted by Langmuir isotherms for both the dyes. The highest monolayer adsorption capacities for methylene blue and orange-II were found to be 1212 mg/g and 126 mg/g, respectively. Overall, the synthesized cross-linked poly[veim][Tf2N]-TRIM effectively removed the selected ionic dyes from aqueous samples and provided >90% of adsorption efficiency after four cycles of adsorption. A possible adsorption mechanism between the synthesised polymeric adsorbent and proposed dyes is presented. It is further suggested that the proposed ionic liquid polymer adsorbent could effectively remove other ionic dyes and pollutants from contaminated aqueous systems.

Abstract
New structurally flexible 1-methyl- and 1,2-dimethyl-imidazolium phosphate ionic liquids (ILs) bearing oligoethers have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. These novel ILs revealed high thermal stabilities, low glass transitions, high conductivity and wide electrochemical stability windows up to 6 V. Both the cations and anions of 1-methyl-imidazolium ILs diffuse faster than the ions of 1,2-dimethyl-imidazolium ILs, as determined by pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR). The 1-methyl-imidazolium phosphate ILs showed relatively higher ionic conductivities and ion diffusivity as compared with the 1,2-dimethyl-imidazolium phosphate ILs. As expected, the diffusivity of all the ions increases with an increase in the temperature. The 1-methyl-imidazolium phosphate ILs formed hydrogen bonds with the phosphate anions, the strength of which is decreased with increasing temperature, as confirmed by variable temperature 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. One of the representative IL, [EmDMIm][DEEP], presented promising elevated temperature performance as an electrolyte in a supercapacitor composed of multiwall carbon nanotubes and activated charcoal (MWCNT/AC) composite electrodes.

Abstract
One of the most promising applications of ionic liquids (ILs) with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (bmim) cation is based on their unique ability to dissolve and fractionate lignocellulosic biomass, allowing for the development of green biorefining technologies. A complete dissolution of lignocellulose requires prolonged treatment at elevated temperatures, which can cause the partial degradation of ILs. In the present study, a combination of various analytical techniques (GC-MS, HPLC-HRMS, 2D-NMR, synchronous thermal analysis) was used for the comprehensive characterization of bmim acetate, chloride, and methyl sulfate degradation products formed at 150 °C during 6- and 24-h thermal treatment. A number of volatile and non-volatile products, including monomeric and dimeric alkyl substituted imidazoles, alcohols, alkyl amines, methyl and butyl acetates, and N-alkylamides, was identified. By thermal lability, ILs can be arranged in the following sequence, coinciding with the decrease in basicity of the anion: [bmim]OAc > [bmim]Cl > [bmim]MeSO4. The accumulation of thermal degradation products in ILs, in turn, affects their physico-chemical properties and thermal stability, and leads to a decrease in the decomposition temperature, a change in the shape of the thermogravimetric curves, and the formation of carbon residue during pyrolysis.

Abstract
The aerobic oxidation of lignin model 2-phenoxyacetophenone (2-PAP) in cooperative ionic liquid mixtures (CoILs) with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2C1im]OAc) and 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([BZC1im]NTf2) was investigated. Complete degradation of 2-PAP was achieved with [C2C1im]OAc/[BZC1im]NTf2 molar ratio (RIL) of 1/1 and 1/2 at 100 °C for 2 h. The conversion and product yields from CoILs were higher than those in pure ILs, indicating the cooperative effects of [C2C1im]OAc/[BZC1im]NTf2 on cleaving aryl-ether bonds. [C2C1im]OAc promoted the catalytic cleavage of aryl-ether bonds and solvation, and [BZC1im]NTf2 induced the formation of alkyl radicals and enhanced the product selectivity. Accordingly, the highest conversion of alkali lignin (79.8%) was obtained with RIL of 5/1 at 100 °C for 2 h, and phenol monomers (306 mg/g) were selectively produced. The CoILs exhibited good catalytic capacities for oxidative depolymerization of lignin, which strongly depends on the changes in intermolecular interactions and structural organization with varying RIL.

Abstract
The spectroscopic quantification of mixture compositions usually requires pure compounds and mixtures of known compositions for calibration. Since they are not always available, methods to fill such gaps have evolved, which are, however, not generally applicable. Therefore, calibration can be extremely challenging, especially when multiple unstable species, for example, intermediates, exist in a system. This study presents a new calibration approach that uses ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD)-simulated spectra to set up and calibrate models for the physics-based spectral analysis method indirect hard modeling (IHM). To demonstrate our approach called AIMD-IHM, we analyze Raman spectra of ternary hydrogen-bonding mixtures of acetone, methanol, and ethanol. The derived AIMD-IHM pure-component models and calibration coefficients are in good agreement with conventionally generated experimental results. The method yields compositions with prediction errors of less than 5% without any experimental calibration input. Our approach can be extended, in principle, to infrared and NMR spectroscopy and allows for the analysis of systems that were hitherto inaccessible to quantitative spectroscopic analysis.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have remarkable properties and applications in many areas of science. Phosphonium ILs have become important because of their unique chemical and thermal stabilities. The present work is focused on the synthesis, characterisation, physicochemical properties, and microbial toxicity assessment of phosphonium ILs bearing seven different fatty acid anions. The structures of the synthesised ILs were confirmed by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and FTIR spectroscopy. Physicochemical properties such as density and viscosity of pure ILs were measured at temperatures ranging from 298.15 to 313.15 K. The experimental density decreased, whereas the viscosity increased with an increasing number of carbon atoms in the anion. The derived properties were also found to be anion dependent. The thermal decomposition temperature was investigated by TGA. Subsequently, the toxicity profile of the ILs was determined for selected Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and some species of fungi in terms of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). The results show that the antimicrobial activities of the ILs are strongly related to the structures of the ILs, where an increase in toxicity was observed with increasing alkyl group chain length of the fatty acid anion.

Abstract
Carboxylate ionic liquids (ILs) combining benzethonium (BE) and didecyldimethylammonium (DDA) as cations have been explored to be used for the first time as dual functional solvents for microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) dissolution and, subsequently development of polymeric structures. Considering that some ILs can remain in the polymeric structures after phase inversion, these ILs can offer advantages such as antibacterial/antimicrobial response and ability to disrupt H-bonds. In this context, all tested ILs have been able to dissolve MCC up to a concentration of 4% (w/w), resulting in different polymeric structures, such as gel-like or films, depending on the type of IL and the ratio between MCC and IL. Furthermore, FTIR spectroscopy showed that some IL remains in the polymeric structures, which can enhance their application in the biomedical field.

Abstract
We synthesized and characterized a novel iron(II) aceto EMIM coordination compound, which has a simplified empirical formula Fe4(OAc)10[EMIM]2, in two different hydration forms: as anhydrous monoclinic compound and triclinic dihydrate Fe4(OAc)10[EMIM]2·2H2O. The dihydrate compound is isostructural with recently reported Mn4(OAc)10[EMIM]2·2H2O, while the anhydrate is a superstructure of the Mn counterpart, suggesting the existence of solid solutions. Both new Fe compounds contain chains of Fe2+ octahedrally coordinated exclusively by acetate groups. The EMIM moieties do not interact directly with the Fe2+ and contribute to the structural framework of the compound through van der Waals forces and C-H···O hydrogen bonds with the acetate anions. The compounds have a melting temperature of ∼94 °C; therefore, they can be considered metal-containing ionic liquids. Differential thermal analysis indicates three endothermic transitions associated with melting, structural rearrangement in the molten state at about 157 °C, and finally, thermal decomposition of the Fe4(OAc)10[EMIM]2. Thermogravimetric analyses indicate an ∼72 wt % mass loss during the decomposition at 280-325 °C. The Fe4(OAc)10[EMIM]2 compounds have higher thermal stability than their Mn counterparts and [EMIM][OAc] but lower compared to iron(II) acetate. Temperature-programmed desorption coupled with mass spectrometry shows that the decomposition pathway of the Fe4(OAc)10[EMIM]2 involves four distinct regimes with peak temperatures at 88, 200, 267, and 345 °C. The main species observed in the decomposition of the compound are CH3, H2O, N2, CO, OC-CH3, OH-CO, H3C-CO-CH3, and H3C-O-CO-CH3. Variable-temperature infrared vibrational spectroscopy indicates that the phase transition at 160-180 °C is associated with a reorientation of the acetate ions, which may lead to a lower interaction with the [EMIM]+ before the decomposition of the Fe4(OAc)10[EMIM]2 upon further heating. The Fe4(OAc)10[EMIM]2 compounds are porous, plausibly capable of accommodating other types of molecules.

Abstract
The electrical conductivity, density and diffusion coefficients of trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([P66614][NTf2]) ionic liquid and its binary solutions in acetonitrile, propionitrile, dimethyl and diethyl carbonates were measured in the temperature range of 293-348 K. The electrical conductivity - ionic liquid mole fraction dependencies for the binary solutions were fitted with the empirical Casteel-Amis equation. The temperature dependencies of electrical conductivity were analyzed using the Arrhenius, Litovitz and Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann approaches. The dependences of the Arrhenius activation energy and pre-exponential factor on the mole fraction of ionic liquid in the solutions were fitted with the empirical equations proposed in the literature. The thermo-gravimetric analysis combined with mass spectrometry demonstrated the high thermal stability of [P66614][NTf2] up to 600 K. At higher temperatures the decomposition of [P66614][NTf2] proceeded via the elimination of alkyl radicals as a result of the nucleophilic attack of reactive intermediates to the [P66614]+ cation with the formation of trialkylphosphines. The activation energies of the thermal destruction of [P66614][NTf2] were calculated using the Kissinger equation and non-linear integral isoconversional model.

Abstract
The use of renewable resources as feedstocks to ensure the production of goods and commodities for society has been explored in the last decades to switch off the overexploited and pollutant fossil-based economy. Today there is a strong movement to set bioeconomy as priority, but there are still challenges and technical limitations that must be overcome in the first place, particularly on biomass fractionation. For biomass to be an appellative raw material, an efficient and sustainable separation of its major components must be achieved. On the other hand, the technology development for biomass valorisation must follow green chemistry practices towards eco-friendly processes, otherwise no environmental leverage over traditional petrochemical technologies will be acquired. In this context, the application of green solvents, such as ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DES), in biomass fractionation is envisaged as promising technology that encompasses not only efficiency and environmental benefits, but also selectivity, which is a crucial demand to undertake cascade processes at biorefinery level. In particular, this article briefly discusses the disruptive achievements upon the application of ILs and DES in biomass delignification step towards an effective and selective separation of lignin from polysaccharides. The different physicochemical properties of these solvents, their interactions with lignin and their delignification capacity will be scrutinized, while some highlights will be given to the important characteristics of isolated lignin fractions for further valorisation. The advantages and disadvantages between ILs and DES in biomass delignification will be contrasted as well along the article.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic silica composites have been prepared via acid catalyzed sol-gel route using tetramethoxysilan (TMOS) and methyl-trimethoxysilane (MTMS) as silica precursors and n-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ([bmPy][BF4]) as co-solvent and pore template, by varying the content of the ionic liquid (IL). Morphology of the xerogels prepared using the ionic liquid templating agent were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Thermal analysis has been used in order to evaluate the thermal and structural stability of the materials, in both nitrogen and synthetic air atmosphere. In nitrogen atmosphere, the IL decomposition took place in one step starting above 150 °C and completed in the 150–460 °C temperature interval. In synthetic air atmosphere, the IL decomposition produced two-step mass loss, mainly in the 170–430 °C temperature interval. The decomposition mechanism of the IL inside the silica matrix was studied by mass spectrometric evolved gas analysis (MSEGA). The measurements showed that the degradation of the IL’s longer side chain (butyl) starts at low temperature (above 150 °C) through a C-N bond cleavage, initiated by the nucleophilic attack of a fluorine ion.

Abstract
The thermal stability and decomposition kinetics analysis of 1-alkyl-2,3-dimethylimidazole nitrate ionic liquids with different alkyl chains (ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl and decyl) were investigated by using isothermal and nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis combined with thermoanalytical kinetics calculations (Kissinger, Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Isothermal experiments were performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 240, 250, 260 and 270 °C. In addition, the nonisothermal experiments were carried out in nitrogen and air atmospheres from 30 to 600 °C with heating rates of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 °C/min. The results of two heating modes, three activation energy calculations and density functional theory calculations consistently showed that the thermal stability of 1-alkyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium nitrate ionic liquids decreases with the increasing length of the alkyl chain of the substituent on the cation, and then the thermal hazard increases. This study could provide some guidance for the safety design and use of imidazolium nitrate ionic liquids for engineering.

Abstract
The oxidative depolymerization of alkali lignin (AL) in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2C1im]OAc) system without additional catalyst was investigated under mild conditions (initial O2 pressure of 1.5 MPa, 80 °C-100 °C). Compared with other ionic liquids (ILs), the cooperation of imidazolium cation and acetate anion successfully enhanced AL conversion. Among the investigated imidazolium acetate ILs with ethyl- to octyl-side chains, [C2C1im]OAc presented the best catalytic capacity for AL oxidative depolymerization. Adding an appropriate amount of water to [C2C1im]OAc can further improve the reaction efficiency. In the [C2C1im]OAc system with the addition of 0.10-0.25 mL of water, approximately 77 wt% AL was depolymerized into small molecule soluble products at 100 °C for 2 h. The extracted oil was composed mainly of phenolic derived compounds. With the use of the [C2C1im]OAc-based system, the specific inter-unit linkages of lignin were broken down, and residual lignin with low molecular weight and narrow polydispersity index (1.88-1.96) was obtained. Compared with that in AL conversion with fresh [C2C1im]OAc, only a minimal decrease (~3.2%) was observed with the recovered IL until the fifth cycle. These findings revealed that [C2C1im]OAc-based system is a simple and efficient catalytic system for lignin oxidative depolymerization.

Abstract
Ionic liquids are extremely versatile and continue to find new applications in academia as well as industry. This versatility is rooted in the manifold of possible ion types, ion combinations, and ion variations. However, to fully exploit this versatility, it is imperative to understand how the properties of ionic liquids arise from their constituents. In this work, we discuss targeted modifications as a powerful tool to provide understanding and to enable design. A 'targeted modification' is a deliberate change in the structure of an ionic liquid. This includes chemical changes in an experiment as well as changes to the parameterisation in a computer simulation. In any case, such a change must be purposeful to isolate what is of interest, studying, as far as is possible, only one concept at a time. The concepts can then be used as design elements. However, it is often found that several design elements interact with each other - sometimes synergistically, and other times antagonistically. Targeted modifications are a systematic way of navigating these overlaps. We hope this paper shows that understanding ionic liquids requires experimentalists and theoreticians to join forces and provides a tool to tackle the difficult transition from understanding to design.

Abstract
Preparation of new green oilfield chemicals based on ionic liquids (ILs) having higher demulsification efficiency to solve the heavy crude oil brine water emulsions became a target in the petroleum research studies and industry. In the present work, the combination of pyridinium, imidazolium, and hydrophilic or hydrophobic moieties in the chemical structure of ILs has been investigated to improve the surface properties of ILs in both bulk solution and interfaces. Aminopyridine was quaternized with cetylbromide and condensed with glyoxal and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde in acetic acid to prepare imidazolium-pyridinium bromide acetate ionic liquid (IPy-IL). The phenol group of IPy-IL was etherified with tetraethylene glycol to alter its amphiphilicity and synthesize new amphiphiles (AIPy-IL). Their chemical structure, thermal characteristics, and stabilities were characterized. Their aqueous solution performance in seawater was evaluated to investigate their surface activity, aggregation particle sizes, and surface charges. The demulsification performances of the prepared Arabic heavy crude oil seawater emulsions in the presence of different concentrations of IPy-IL and AIPy-IL were evaluated and proved by interfacial tension, particle size, and demulsification efficiencies at a temperature of 45 °C. The data concluded that AIPy-IL was an effective demulsifier for different crude oil seawater emulsion compositions at a low injection dose and temperature of 100 ppm and 45 °C, which were not report elsewhere.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are the safest solvent in various high-temperature applications due to their non-flammable properties. In order to obtain their thermal stability properties, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is extensively used to analyze the kinetics of the thermal decomposition process. This review summarizes the different kinetics analysis methods and finds the isoconversional methods are superior to the Arrhenius methods in calculating the activation energy, and two tools—the compensation effect and master plots—are suggested for the calculation of the pre-exponential factor. With both parameters, the maximum operating temperature (MOT) can be calculated to predict the thermal stability in long-term runnings. The collection of thermal stability data of ILs with divergent cations and anions shows the structure of cations such as alkyl side chains, functional groups, and alkyl substituents will affect the thermal stability, but their influence is less than that of anions. To develop ILs with superior thermal stability, dicationic ILs (DILs) are recommended, and typically, [C4(MIM)2][NTf2]2 has a decomposition temperature as high as 468.1 °C. For the convenience of application, thermal stability on the decomposition temperature and thermal decomposition activation energy of 130 ILs are summarized at the end of this manuscript.

Abstract
Imidazolium ionic liquid (IIL) was prepared from aminolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste with pentaethylenehexamine (PEHA) to apply as hardener of epoxy resin. Its purified chemical structures, thermal stability, and thermal characteristics were identified as well as amino phthalamide aminolyzed products. The thermal, thermomechanical, and mechanical properties of the cured epoxy resins with different weight percentages of IIL were investigated to optimize the best weight ratio to obtain homogeneous networks. The adhesion, durability, and corrosion resistance of the cured epoxy resins on the steel surfaces were tested to confirm that the best weight ratio of epoxy: IL was 2:1. This ratio achieved higher adhesion strength and salt spray resistance to seawater extended to 1500 h.

Abstract
Direct dynamics trajectory simulations were carried out for the NO2 oxidation of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide (EMIM+DCA-), which were aimed at probing the nature of the primary and secondary reactions in the system. Guided by trajectory results, reaction coordinates and potential energy diagrams were mapped out for NO2 with EMIM+DCA-, as well as with its analogues 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide (BMIM+DCA-) and 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide (AMIM+DCA-). Reactions of the dialkylimidazolium-dicyanamide (DCA) ionic liquids (ILs) are all initiated by proton transfer and/or alkyl abstraction between 1,3-dialkylimidazolium cations and DCA- anion, of which two exoergic pathways are particularly relevant to their oxidation activities. One pathway is the transfer of a Hβ-proton from the ethyl, butyl, or allyl group of the dialkylimidazolium cation to DCA- that results in the concomitant elimination of the corresponding alkyl as a neutral alkene, and the other pathway is the alkyl abstraction by DCA- via a second order nucleophilic substitution (SN2) mechanism. The intra-ion-pair reaction products, including [dialkylimidazolium+ - HC2+], alkylimidazole, alkene, alkyl-DCA, HDCA, and DCA-, react with NO2 and favor the formation of nitrite (-ONO) complexes over nitro (-NO2) complexes, albeit the two complex structures have similar formation energies. The exoergic intra-ion-pair reactions in the dialkylimidazolium-DCA ILs account for their significantly higher oxidation activities over the previously reported 1-methyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium dicyanamide [Liu, J.; J. Phys. Chem. B 2019, 123, 2956-2970] and for the relatively higher reactivity of BMIM+DCA- vs AMIM+DCA- as BMIM+ has a higher reaction path degeneracy for intra-ion-pair Hβ-proton transfer and its Hβ-transfer is more energetically favorable. To validate and directly compare our computational results with spectral measurements in the ILs, infrared and Raman spectra of BMIM+DCA- and AMIM+DCA- and their products with NO2 were calculated using an ionic liquid solvation model. The simulated spectra reproduced all of the vibrational frequencies detected in the reactions of BMIM+DCA- and AMIM+DCA- IL droplets with NO2 (as reported by Brotton et al. [ J. Phys. Chem. A 2018, 122, 7351-7377] and Lucas et al. [ J. Phys. Chem. A 2019, 123, 400-416]).

Abstract
We report on the pretreatment of poplar wood with three different 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids, [EMim][OAc], [EMim][MeSO3], and [EMim][HSO4], at varying water contents from 0-40 wt% at 100 °C. The performance was evaluated by observing the lignin and hemicellulose removal, as well as enzymatic saccharification and lignin yield. The mechanism of pretreatment varied between the ionic liquids studied, with the hydrogen sulfate ionic liquid performing delignification and hemicellulose hydrolysis more effectively than the other solvents across the investigated water content range. The acetate ionic liquid produced superior glucose yield at low water contents, while the hydrogen sulfate ionic liquid performed better at higher water contents and produced a recoverable lignin. The methanesulfonate ionic liquid did not introduce significant fractionation or enhancement of saccharification yield under the conditions used. These findings help distinguish the roles of anion hydrogen bonding, solvent acidity, and water content on ionic liquid pretreatment and can aid with anion and water content selections for different applications.

Abstract
Deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass with low-cost ionic liquids (ILs) has proven to be a promising technology that could be implemented in a biorefinery to obtain renewable materials, fuels and chemicals. This study investigates the pretreatment efficacy of the ionoSolv pretreatment of Eucalyptus red grandis using the low-cost ionic liquid triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate ([N2220][HSO4]) in the presence of 20 wt% water at 10% solids loading. The temperatures investigated were 120 °C and 150 °C. Also, the influence of performing the pretreatment under sub-critical and supercritical CO2 was investigated. The IL used is very effective in deconstructing eucalyptus, producing cellulose-rich pulps resulting in enzymatic saccharification yields of 86% for some pretreatment conditions. It has been found that under a CO2 atmosphere, the ionoSolv process is pressure independent. The good performance of this IL in the pretreatment of eucalyptus is promising for the development of a large-scale ionoSolv pretreatment processes.

Abstract
Metal-free imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) Brønsted acids 1-methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulphate [HMIM]HSO4 and 1-methyl benzimidazolium hydrogen sulphate [HMBIM]HSO4 were synthesized. Their physicochemical properties were investigated using spectroscopic and thermal techniques, including UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectrometry, and TGA. The ILs were immobilized on mesoporous silica gel and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, ammonia temperature-programmed desorption, and thermogravimetric analysis. [HMIM]HSO4@silica and [HMBIM]HSO4@silica have been successfully applied as promising replacements for conventional catalysts for alkane isomerization reactions at room temperature. Isomerization of n-heptane and n-octane was achieved with both catalysts. In addition to promoting the isomerization of n-heptane and n-octane (a quintessential reaction for petroleum refineries), these immobilized catalysts are non-hazardous and save energy. Metal-free imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) Brønsted acids 1-methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulphate [HMIM]HSO4 and 1-methyl benzimidazolium hydrogen sulphate [HMBIM]HSO4 were synthesized.![]()
