Abstract
This manuscript analyses changes in the optical parameters of a commercial alumina nanoporous structure (AnodiscTM or AND support) due to surface coverage by the ionic liquid (IL) AliquatCl (AlqCl). XPS measurements were performed for chemical characterization of the composite AND/AlqCl and the AND support, but XPS resolved angle analysis (from 15° to 75°) was carried out for the homogeneity estimation of the top surface of the ANDAlqCl sample. Optical characterization of both the composite AND/AlqCl and the AND support was performed by three non-destructive and non-invasive techniques: ellipsometry spectroscopy (SE), light transmittance/reflection, and photoluminescence. SE measurements (wavelength ranging from 250 nm to 1250 nm) allow for the determination of the refraction index of the AND/AlqCl sample, which hardly differs from that corresponding to the IL, confirming the XPS results. The presence of the IL significantly increases the light transmission of the alumina support in the visible region and reduces reflection, affecting also the maximum position of this latter curve, as well as the photoluminescence spectra. Due to these results, illuminated I-V curves for both the composite AND/AlqCl film and the AND support were also measured to estimate its possible application as a solar cell. The optical behaviour exhibited by the AND/AlqCl thin film in the visible region could be of interest for different applications.

ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING 2024; 12:7882-7893. [PMID: 38783843 PMCID: PMC11110104 DOI: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.4c01265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Herein we address the efficiency of the CO2 sorption of ionic liquids (IL) with hydrogen bond donors (e.g., glycols) added as viscosity modifiers and the impact of encapsulating them to limit sorbent evaporation under conditions for the direct air capture of CO2. Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, and diethylene glycol were added to three different ILs: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium 2-cyanopyrrolide ([EMIM][2-CNpyr]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMIM][BF4]), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]). Incorporation of the glycols decreased viscosity by an average of 51% compared to bulk IL. After encapsulation of the liquid mixtures using a soft template approach, thermogravimetric analysis revealed average reductions in volatility of 36 and 40% compared to the unencapsulated liquid mixtures, based on 1 h isothermal experiments at 25 and 55 °C, respectively. The encapsulated mixtures of [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/1,3-propanediol and [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/diethylene glycol exhibited the lowest volatility (0.0019 and 0.0002 mmol/h at 25 °C, respectively) and were further evaluated as CO2 absorption/desorption materials. Based on the capacity determined from breakthrough measurements, [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/1,3-propanediol had a lower transport limited absorption rate for CO2 sorption compared to [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/diethylene glycol with 0.08 and 0.03 mol CO2/kg sorbent, respectively; however, [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/diethylene glycol capsules exhibited higher absorptions capacity at ∼500 ppm of CO2 (0.66 compared to 0.47 mol of CO2/kg sorbent for [EMIM][2-CNpyr]/1,3-propanediol). These results show that glycols can be used to not only reduce IL viscosity while increasing physisorption sites for CO2 sorption, but also that encapsulation can be utilized to mitigate evaporation of volatile viscosity modifiers.

Abstract
Through metal-site anchoring, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were modified with ionic liquids (ILs) and used as a porous filler to prepare mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). The targeted growth of the IL exposed more active sites and greatly enhanced CO2 transfer in the MMMs, which exhibited excellent gas separation performance and long durability.

Abstract
The carbon emission problem is a significant challenge in today's society, which has led to severe global climate issues. Membrane-based separation technology has gained considerable interest in CO2 separation due to its simplicity, environmental friendliness, and energy efficiency. Crystalline porous materials (CPMs), such as zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks, and porous organic cages, hold great promise for advanced CO2 separation membranes because of their ordered and customizable pore structures. However, the preparation of defect-free and large-area crystalline porous material (CPM)-based membranes remains challenging, limiting their practical use in CO2 separation. To address this challenge, the solution-processing method, commonly employed in commercial polymer preparation, has been adapted for CPM membranes in recent years. Nanosheets, spheres, molecular cages, and even organic monomers, depending on the CPM type, are dissolved in suitable solvents and processed into continuous membranes for CO2 separation. This feature article provides an overview of the recent advancements in the solution processing of CPM membranes. It summarizes the differences among the solution-processing methods used for forming various CPM membranes, highlighting the key factors for achieving continuous membranes. The article also summarizes and discusses the CO2 separation performance of these membranes. Furthermore, it addresses the current issues and proposes future research directions in this field. Overall, this feature article aims to shed light on the development of solution-processing techniques for CPM membranes, facilitating their practical application in CO2 separation.

Abstract
Water scarcity is a significant concern, particularly in arid regions, due to the rapid growth in population, industrialization, and climate change. Seawater desalination has emerged as a conventional and reliable solution for obtaining potable water. However, conventional membrane-based seawater desalination has drawbacks, such as high energy consumption resulting from a high-pressure requirement, as well as operational challenges like membrane fouling and high costs. To overcome these limitations, it is crucial to enhance the performance of membranes by increasing their efficiency, selectivity, and reducing energy consumption and footprint. Adsorptive membranes, which integrate adsorption and membrane technologies, offer a promising approach to address the drawbacks of standalone membranes. By incorporating specific materials into the membrane matrix, composite membranes have demonstrated improved permeability, selectivity, and reduced pressure requirements, all while maintaining effective pollutant rejection. Researchers have explored different adsorbents, including emerging materials such as ionic liquids (ILs), deep eutectic solvents (DESs), and graphene oxide (GO), for embedding into membranes and utilizing them in various applications. This paper aims to discuss the existing challenges in the desalination process and focus on how these materials can help overcome these challenges. It will also provide a comprehensive review of studies that have reported the successful incorporation of ILs, DESs, and GO into membranes to fabricate adsorptive membranes for desalination. Additionally, the paper will highlight both the current and anticipated challenges in this field, as well as present prospects, and provide recommendations for further advancements.

Abstract
Ion gels are an emerging class of polymer gels in which a three-dimensional polymer network swells with an ionic liquid. Ion gels have drawn considerable attention in various fields such as energy and biotechnology owing to their excellent properties including nonvolatility, nonflammability, high ionic conductivity, and high thermal and electrochemical stability. Since the first report on ion gels (published ∼30 years ago), diverse functional ion gels exhibiting impressive physicochemical properties have been reported. In this review, recent developments in functional ion gels that can modulate their physical properties in response to environmental conditions are outlined. Stimuli-responsive ion gels that can adaptively undergo phase transitions in response to thermal and light stimuli are initially discussed, followed by an evaluation of diverse self-healing ion gels that can spontaneously mend mechanical damage through judiciously designed ion-gel networks.

Abstract
A decrease in CO2 emissions is urgently required in the present situation due to the fast growth of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, which has caused a series of global climate issues. This study used an impregnation-evaporation method to immobilize an amino functionalized ionic liquid [C2OHmim][Lys] on a chromatographic column filler GDX-103 and create a novel supported ionic liquid. The results showed that the supported ionic liquid with 60 wt % ionic liquid content had the best adsorption performance at 40 °C, and the CO2 adsorption isotherm showed that the adsorption capacity at 0.1 MPa was 1.29 mmol CO2/g sorbent, which was 6 times greater than the adsorption capacity of the pure carrier. The sample with 60% ionic liquid content has an adsorption capacity of 1.02 mmol CO2/g sorbent under the condition of CO2/N2 mixed gas with 10% CO2 content. This is 43 times greater than the adsorption capacity of the pure carrier, and its adsorption performance is stable after three adsorption and desorption cycles. Through the rich porous structure of GDX-103, the ionic liquid is effectively supported and dispersed, which expands the contact area between CO2 and ionic liquid and enhances the mass transfer of CO2. At the same time, CO2 can be chemically bound to the groups on the anion of ionic liquid and be immobilized, so it has a high selective adsorption capacity of CO2, which makes it a great alternative to traditional CO2 adsorbents.

Abstract
Poly(ionic liquid)-based membranes have been the subject of intensive research in the last 15 years due to their potential for the separation of CO2 from other gases. In this short review, different types of PIL-based membranes for CO2 separation are described (neat PIL membranes; PIL-IL composite membranes; PIL-polymer blend membranes; PIL-based block copolymer membranes, and PIL-based mixed matrix membranes), and their state-of-the-art separation results for different gas pairs (CO2/N2, CO2/H2, and CO2/CH4) are presented and discussed. This review article is focused on the most relevant research works performed over the last 5 years, that is, since the year 2017 onwards, in the field of poly(ionic liquid)-based membranes for CO2 separation. The micro- and nano-morphological characterization of the membranes is highlighted as a research topic that requires deeper study and understanding. Nowadays there is an array of advanced structural characterization techniques, such as neutron scattering techniques with contrast variation (using selective deuteration), that can be used to probe the micro- and nanostructure of membranes, in length scales ranging from ~1 nm to ~15 μm. Although some of these techniques have been used to study the morphology of PIL-based membranes for electrochemical applications, their use in the study of PIL-based membranes for CO2 separation is still unknown.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based copolymers are at the forefront of advanced membrane materials for selective CO2 separation. In this work, free-standing composite membranes were prepared by blending imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) having different structural characteristics with a PEO-based copolymer previously developed by our group, targeting CO2 permeability improvement and effective CO2/gas separation. The effect of IL loading (30 and 40 wt%), alkyl chain length of the imidazolium cation (ethyl- and hexyl- chain) and the nature of the anion (TFSI-, C(CN)3-) on physicochemical and gas transport properties were studied. Among all composite membranes, PEO-based copolymer with 40 wt% IL3-[HMIM][TFSI] containing the longer alkyl chain of the cation and TFSI- as the anion exhibited the highest CO2 permeability of 46.1 Barrer and ideal CO2/H2 and CO2/CH4 selectivities of 5.6 and 39.0, respectively, at 30 °C. In addition, almost all composite membranes surpassed the upper bound limit for CO2/H2 separation. The above membrane showed the highest water vapor permeability value of 50,000 Barrer under both wet and dry conditions and a corresponding H2O/CO2 ideal selectivity value of 1080; values that are comparable with those reported for other highly water-selective PEO-based polymers. These results suggest the potential application of this membrane in hydrogen purification and dehydration of CO2 gas streams.

Abstract
This paper reports a series of liquid materials suitable for use as high-performance separation membranes in direct air capture. Upon mixing two ionic liquids (ILs), namely N-(2-aminoethyl)ethanolamine-based IL ([AEEA][X]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([emim][AcO]), the resulting mixtures with a specific range of their composition showed higher CO2 absorption rates, larger CO2 solubilities, and lower absolute enthalpies of CO2 absorption compared to those of single ILs. NMR spectroscopy of the IL mixture after exposure to 13CO2 allowed elucidation of the chemisorbed species, wherein [AEEA][X] reacts with CO2 to form CO2-[AEEA]+ complexes stabilized by hydrogen bonding with acetate anions. Supported IL membranes composed of [AEEA][X]/[emim][AcO] mixtures were then fabricated, and the membrane with a suitable mixing ratio showed a CO2 permeability of 25,983 Barrer and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 10,059 at 313.2 K and an applied CO2 partial pressure of 40 Pa without water vapor. These values are higher than those reported for known facilitated transport membranes.

Abstract
Current interest toward ionic liquids (ILs) stems from some of their novel characteristics, like low vapor pressure, thermal stability, and nonflammability, integrated through high ionic conductivity and broad range of electrochemical strength. Nowadays, ionic liquids represent a new category of chemical-based compounds for developing superior and multifunctional substances with potential in several fields. ILs can be used in solvents such as salt electrolyte and additional materials. By adding functional physiochemical characteristics, a variety of IL-based electrolytes can also be used for energy storage purposes. It is hoped that the present review will supply guidance for future research focused on IL-based polymer nanocomposites electrolytes for sensors, high performance, biomedicine, and environmental applications. Additionally, a comprehensive overview about the polymer-based composites' ILs components, including a classification of the types of polymer matrix available is provided in this review. More focus is placed upon ILs-based polymeric nanocomposites used in multiple applications such as electrochemical biosensors, energy-related materials, biomedicine, actuators, environmental, and the aviation and aerospace industries. At last, existing challenges and prospects in this field are discussed and concluding remarks are provided.

Mixed-Matrix Membranes Based on Polyetherimide, Metal–Organic Framework and Ionic Liquid: Influence of the Composition and Morphology on Gas Transport Properties. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14173489.

Abstract
In this work, membranes based on polyetherimide (PEI), a ZIF-8 metal–organic framework and 1-ethyl-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid (IL) were prepared. IL and ZIF-8 contents amounting to 7 wt% and 25 wt%, respectively, were investigated. CO2, He and H2 transport properties of PEI/IL/ZIF-8 membranes were compared to those obtained for the respective PEI/ZIF-8 and PEI/IL systems. Membranes’ gas permeability and selectivity are discussed as a function of the membrane composition and morphology, and they were assessed in relation to existing experimental and theoretical data from the literature. Promising gas transport properties were obtained using the appropriate combination of ZIF-8 and IL amounts in the PEI matrix. Indeed, an increase in the CO2 permeability coefficient by a factor of around 7.5 and the He and H2 permeability coefficients by a factor of around 4 was achieved by adding 7 wt% IL and 10 wt% ZIF-8 to the PEI matrix. Moreover, diffusion was evidenced as a governing factor in the studied membrane series.

Abstract
Constructing crosslinked polymer networks via reversible interactions is a promising approach to recover the mechanical strength of damaged gels. In addition, by designing effective reversible crosslinks, the mechanical strength of the gel can be enhanced through energy dissipation based on the destruction of the crosslinks by an applied force. In this study, we introduced zeolitic imidazole framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs), which acted as multifunctional crosslinkers, to provide multipoint coordination bonding with a poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-based polymer network in a gel containing an ionic liquid. The mechanical strength of the gel increased with an increase in the content of ZIF-8 NPs up to 6 wt%. It was confirmed that the energy loaded onto the gel was dissipated through the desorption of the polymer network from the surface of the ZIF-8 NPs. Owing to the reversible destruction and reconstruction of the coordinative crosslinking between the polymer network and ZIF-8 NPs, the mechanical strength of the damaged gel was almost fully recovered through annealing.

Abstract
The development of microporosity in the liquid state is leading to an inherent change in the way we approach applications of functional porosity, potentially allowing access to new processes by exploiting the fluidity of these new materials. By engineering permanent porosity into a liquid, over the transient intermolecular porosity in all liquids, it is possible to design and form a porous liquid. Since the concept was proposed in 2007, and the first examples realised in 2015, the field has seen rapid advances among the types and numbers of porous liquids developed, our understanding of the structure and properties, as well as improvements in gas uptake and molecular separations. However, despite these recent advances, the field is still young, and with only a few applications reported to date, the potential that porous liquids have to transform the field of microporous materials remains largely untapped. In this review, we will explore the theory and conception of porous liquids and cover major advances in the area, key experimental characterisation techniques and computational approaches that have been employed to understand these systems, and summarise the investigated applications of porous liquids that have been presented to date. We also outline an emerging discovery workflow with recommendations for the characterisation required at each stage to both confirm permanent porosity and fully understand the physical properties of the porous liquid.

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
Nanocomposite membrane (NCM) is deemed as a practical and green separation solution which has found application in various fields, due to its potential to delivery excellent separation performance economically. NCM is enabled by nanofiller, which comes in a wide range of geometries and chemical features. Despite numerous advantages offered by nanofiller incorporation, fabrication of NCM often met processing issues arising from incompatibility between inorganic nanofiller and polymeric membrane. Contemporary, functionalization of nanofiller which modify the surface properties of inorganic material using chemical agents is a viable approach and vigorously pursued to refine NCM processing and improve the odds of obtaining a defect-free high-performance membrane. This review highlights the recent progress on nanofiller functionalization employed in the fabrication of gas-separative NCMs. Apart from the different approaches used to obtain functionalized nanofiller (FN) with good dispersion in solvent and polymer matrix, this review discusses the implication of functionalization in altering the structure and chemical properties of nanofiller which favor interaction with specific gas species. These changes eventually led to the enhancement in the gas separation efficiency of NCMs. The most frequently used chemical agents are identified for each type of gas. Finally, the future perspective of gas-separative NCMs are highlighted.

Abstract
Excessive CO2 emissions have resulted in global warming and are a serious threat to the life of people, various strategies have been implemented to cut carbon emissions, and one of them is the use of a gas separation membrane to capture CO2 effectively. In this experiment, the butadiene-bridged polymethylsiloxane (BBPMS)/ethyl cellulose (EC)/ionic liquid (IL) ternary composite membranes were prepared by EC as a substrate, BBPMS, and IL as additives in tetrahydrofuran under high-speed stirring and coated on the membrane. The membrane structure was characterized by a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscope, and the membrane properties were tested by a membrane tensile strength tester, thermal weight loss analyzer, and gas permeability meter. The results show that the surface of the ternary composite membrane is dense and flat with a uniform distribution, and the membrane formation, heat resistance, and mechanical properties are good. The permeability coefficient of the ternary composite membrane for CO2 reached 1806.03 Barrer, which is 20.00 times higher than that of the EC/IL hybrid matrix membrane. The permeability coefficient of O2 reached 321.01 Barrer, which is 19.21 times higher than that of the EC/IL membrane. When the doping amount of BBPMS is 70-80%, the O2/N2 gas permeation separation of the BBPMS/EC/IL ternary composite membrane is close to the Robertson 2008 curve. It is always known that in the gas separation process the membrane material is the most crucial factor. The success of this experiment points to a new direction for the preparation of new membrane materials.

Abstract
This work aims to explore the gas permeation performance of two newly-designed ionic liquids, [C2mim][CF3BF3] and [C2mim][CF3SO2C(CN)2], in supported ionic liquid membranes (SILM) configuration, as another effort to provide an overall insight on the gas permeation performance of functionalized-ionic liquids with the [C2mim]+ cation. [C2mim][CF3BF3] and [C2mim][CF3SO2C(CN)2] single gas separation performance towards CO2, N2, and CH4 at T = 293 K and T = 308 K were measured using the time-lag method. Assessing the CO2 permeation results, [C2mim][CF3BF3] showed an undermined value of 710 Barrer at 293.15 K and 1 bar of feed pressure when compared to [C2mim][BF4], whereas for the [C2mim][CF3SO2C(CN)2] IL an unexpected CO2 permeability of 1095 Barrer was attained at the same experimental conditions, overcoming the results for the remaining ILs used for comparison. The prepared membranes exhibited diverse permselectivities, varying from 16.9 to 22.2 for CO2/CH4 and 37.0 to 44.4 for CO2/N2 gas pairs. The thermophysical properties of the [C2mim][CF3BF3] and [C2mim][CF3SO2C(CN)2] ILs were also determined in the range of T = 293.15 K up to T = 353.15 K at atmospheric pressure and compared with those for other ILs with the same cation and anion's with similar chemical moieties.

Abstract
In the past two decades, ionic liquids (ILs) have blossomed as versatile task-specific materials with a unique combination of properties, which can be beneficial for a plethora of different applications. The additional need of incorporating ILs into solid devices led to the development of a new class of ionic soft-solid materials, named here iongels. Nowadays, iongels cover a wide range of materials mostly composed of an IL component immobilized within different matrices such as polymers, inorganic networks, biopolymers or inorganic nanoparticles. This review aims at presenting an integrated perspective on the recent progress and advances in this emerging type of material. We provide an analysis of the main families of iongels and highlight the emerging types of these ionic soft materials offering additional properties, such as thermoresponsiveness, self-healing, mixed ionic/electronic properties, and (photo)luminescence, among others. Next, recent trends in additive manufacturing (3D printing) of iongels are presented. Finally, their new applications in the areas of energy, gas separation and (bio)electronics are detailed and discussed in terms of performance, underpinning it to the structural features and processing of iongel materials.

Sarkar R, Kundu TK. Density functional theory-based analyses on selective gas separation by β-PVDF-supported ionic liquid membranes. J Mol Graph Model 2021; 108:108004. [PMID: 34438240 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2021.108004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2021] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Finding proper candidates for polymer-supported ionic liquid (IL)-based gas separating membranes is a challenge. The current article elucidates the quantum chemical perspective of the selective gas adsorption efficiency, from a mixture of CO2, CO, CH4, and H2, of α- and β-polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-supported imidazolium- and pyridinium-based six ionic liquid membranes. Although IL-based membrane efficiency mainly depends on the gas solubility of ILs, IL/support binding and gas adsorption on the support material are also studied to describe the overall gas adsorption properties of the PVDF/IL complexes. β-PVDF exhibits better binding with the ILs, and better gas affinity, thus, qualified as a more suitable membrane component as compared to α-PVDF. Dispersion-corrected density functional calculations are performed to provide a detailed insight into the energetic interactions, nonbonding intermolecular interactions based on symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT), natural bond orbitals (NBO), Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), reduced density gradient (RDG), frontier orbital interactions, density of states (DOS), and thermochemical analyses of the gas-adsorbed systems. Gas molecules interact with the membrane components through weak hydrogen bonds and exhibit low interaction energies, indicating physisorption of the gases. Gas adsorption energies are more negative than the mutual interaction energies of the gas molecules, ensuring effective gas adsorption by the membrane components. All the β-PVDF/IL systems have shown the highest and lowest affinity for CO2 and H2, respectively, leading to effective separation of CO2 and H2 from the other gases.

Abstract
Three different types of polymer ligands, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(methyl methacrylate-random-poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether methacrylate) (PMMA-r-PEGMEMA), and poly(ionic liquid)s (PIL), were grafted onto the surface of 15 nm solid and large hollow porous silica nanoparticles (average particle size ∼60 nm) by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) to demonstrate the enhanced carbon dioxide (CO2) permeability as well as mechanical properties. After characterizing the purified products, free-standing bulk films were fabricated by the solvent-casting method. The poly(ionic liquid) nanocomposite films exhibited a much higher carbon dioxide permeance than PMMA and PMMA-r-PEGMEMA systems with a similar silica content. Also, the hollow silica-mixed matrix membranes showed a significant enhancement in CO2 permeability compared to the 15 nm solid silica films because of the pore structure. Despite the transparency loss due to the scattering of larger particle sizes, the hollow silica particle brush films exhibited the same mechanical properties as the 15 nm solid silica-derived ones.

Abstract
Four ionic liquids (ILs) namely, 1-butylsulfonate-3-methylimidazolium P-toluene sulfonate ([BSmim][tos]), 1-butylsulfonate pyridine P-toluene sulfonate ([BSmpy][tos]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim][Cl]) and 1-butylpyridine chloride ([Bpy][Cl]) were synthesized for the effective separation of gases CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 through supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs). ILs were confirmed by NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, and their characteristics and physical properties were studied. The ILs were immobilized on the porous hydrophobic 200 μm thick polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) support. Pure and mixed gas separation performances of the prepared SILMs were analyzed in a custom-built gas permeation unit. The SILMs were stable up to 0.6 MPa at room temperature without leaching the ionic liquid. [BSmim][tos] was recorded to have the highest solubility coefficient and permeability for CO2, among other ILs. At 0.5 MPa, for pure CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4, IL [BSmim][tos] was observed with selectivities of 56.2 and 47.5, respectively. Based on the SILMs separation performance, the ILs synthesized for this work can be ranked as [BSmim][tos] > [BSmpy][tos] > [Bmim][Cl] > [Bpy][Cl]. Moreover, the exceptionally high selectivity values of [BSmim][tos] and [BSmpy][tos] confirms the potential use of ILs for CO2 separation through SILMs.

Abstract
Diamino protic ionic liquids (DPILs) possess a wide application prospect in the field of acid gas absorption. In this work, two representative DPILs, that is, dimethylethylenediamine 4-fluorophenolate ([DMEDAH][4-F-PhO]) and dimethylethylenediamine acetate ([DMEDAH][OAc]), which had been proved to display favorable CO2 absorption performance in experiments, were selected. Based on the solvation model, the different mechanisms of CO2 absorption by [DMEDAH]+ cations combined with different anions were investigated using the dispersion-corrected density functional theory method. Above all, the possible active sites of the reaction between DPILs and CO2 were analyzed by electrostatic potential (ESP) and electronegativity, and the transition states in each path were searched and verified by frequency calculation and intrinsic reaction coordinate calculation. Furthermore, the Gibbs free energy and reaction heat of each path were calculated, and the free energy barrier and enthalpy barrier diagrams were shown. It was found that the absorption path by the anion of [DMEDAH][4-F-PhO] was favorable in kinetics, while the absorption path by the cation was thermodynamically beneficial. In addition, [DMEDAH][OAc] only showed the possibility of cation absorption, and the mechanism of the transfer of active protons to weak acid anions and the formation of acetic acid molecules was more favorable. Moreover, through the structural analysis, bond order and bond energy calculation, ESP analysis of the ion pair absorption configuration, and comparison with the products of CO2 absorbed by isolated ions, it was found that the interaction between anions/cations and CO2 could weaken or enhance the interaction between anions and cations in different reaction steps. Hopefully, this study is helpful to understand the absorption mechanism of CO2 by DPILs and provides a theoretical basis for the R&D of multi-active site functionalized ILs.

Abstract
Ionic liquids have attracted the attention of the industry and research community as versatile solvents with unique properties, such as ionic conductivity, low volatility, high solubility of gases and vapors, thermal stability, and the possibility to combine anions and cations to yield an almost endless list of different structures. These features open perspectives for numerous applications, such as the reaction medium for chemical synthesis, electrolytes for batteries, solvent for gas sorption processes, and also membranes for gas separation. In the search for better-performing membrane materials and membranes for gas and vapor separation, ionic liquids have been investigated extensively in the last decade and a half. This review gives a complete overview of the main developments in the field of ionic liquid membranes since their first introduction. It covers all different materials, membrane types, their preparation, pure and mixed gas transport properties, and examples of potential gas separation applications. Special systems will also be discussed, including facilitated transport membranes and mixed matrix membranes. The main strengths and weaknesses of the different membrane types will be discussed, subdividing them into supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs), poly(ionic liquids) or polymerized ionic liquids (PILs), polymer/ionic liquid blends (physically or chemically cross-linked 'ion-gels'), and PIL/IL blends. Since membrane processes are advancing as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional separation processes, having shown promising results for complex new separation challenges like carbon capture as well, they may be the key to developing a more sustainable future society. In this light, this review presents the state-of-the-art of ionic liquid membranes, to analyze their potential in the gas separation processes of the future.

Abstract
Acetate-based ionic liquids (AcILs), as a kind of typical carboxylate-based ILs, display excellent structure tunability, non-volatility, good solubility to biomass, and favorable adsorption capacity, etc. These unique characteristics of AcILs make them important candidates for a range of applications in the field of energy and in the petrochemical industry. This paper intends to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in AcILs, including pure AcILs, AcIL-based multi-solvents, and AcIL-based composites, etc. Preparation methods, with one- and two-step synthesis, are reviewed. The relationship between properties and temperature is discussed, and some physical and thermodynamic properties of different AcILs are summarized and further calculated. The applications of AcILs in the fields of biomass processing, organic synthesis, separation, electrochemistry, and other fields are reviewed based on their prominent properties. Thereinto, the dual functions of AcILs as solvents and activators for biomass dissolution are discussed, and the roles of AcILs as catalysts and reaction mediums in clean organic synthesis are highlighted. Meanwhile, the reaction mechanisms of AcILs with acid gases are posed by means of molecular simulation and experimental characterization. Moreover, AcILs as electrolytes for zinc batteries, supercapacitors, and electrodeposition are particularly introduced. Finally, the future research challenges and prospects of AcILs are presented.

Abstract
Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) are molecularly disordered solids, and their potential for the development of gas separation membranes has recently been demonstrated. Here, the gas absorption capability of the OIPC, diethyl(methyl)(isobutyl)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate ([P122i4][PF6]), for four gases is predicted through potential of mean force (PMF) calculations based on two methods – average force method and adaptive biasing force method. Both methods correctly predicted the different trends of adsorption and absorption of these gases across the OIPC–gas interface. The distinct energy barriers of the PMF profiles of CO2 and N2 near the interface directly reflect the good selectivity of OIPC to these two gases. However, the selectivity of CH4 and O2 cannot be accurately reflected by the PMF curve near the interface, because the relative energy varies greatly at different positions inside the OIPC. Thus the average free energy change should be calculated over the entire OIPC box to evaluate the difference in selectivity between the two gases. This also suggests that gas absorption in OIPCs is greatly affected by the structural order and chemical environment. The adaptive biasing force method overall outperforms the average force method. The method should be able to provide a prediction of gas selectivity for a wider range of organic ionic plastic crystals and other solid materials. The free energy calculation shows the different free energy changes of the adsorption and absorption of gas molecules into an organic ionic plastic crystal, successfully predicting the gas selectivity of this new type of gas separation material.![]()

Abstract
CO2 gas separation is of significant importance to protect the environment and utilize the carbon resource. In this work, two kinds of new cellulose esters containing imidazolium cation, cellulose acetate (CA) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and CA 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (CA-BmimTf2 N), are designed and synthesized. The resultant cationized cellulose esters effectively lock various ionic liquids (ILs) via electrostatic interactions. Due to the strong attraction interactions, the obtained cellulose ester/ILs composite membranes are uniform, smooth, and highly transparent. Moreover, the added ILs with a long alkyl chain in the cation and a bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide anion remarkably improve the CO2 permeability of the cellulose ester/ILs membranes, because of the dramatic increase of the CO2 diffusion rate. The CA-BmimTf2 N/C10 mimTf2 N membranes exhibit the highest CO2 permeability, which is 3800% higher than that of CA membrane and 1700% higher than that of CA-BmimTf2 N membrane. More importantly, the CA-BmimTf2 N/C10 mimTf2 N membranes have good mechanical properties and thermal stability. Such high-performance CO2 separation membranes with high CO2 permeability, high transparency, and good mechanical property have a huge potential in the practical utilization for gas separation.

Abstract
The regulation of mass transfer across membranes is central to a wide spectrum of applications. Despite numerous examples of stimuli-responsive membranes for liquid-phase species, this goal remains elusive for gaseous molecules. We describe a previously unexplored gas gating mechanism driven by reversible electrochemical metal deposition/dissolution on a conductive membrane, which can continuously modulate the interfacial gas permeability over two orders of magnitude with high efficiency and short response time. The gating mechanism involves neither moving parts nor dead volume and can therefore enable various engineering processes. An electrochemically mediated carbon dioxide concentrator demonstrates proof of concept by integrating the gating membranes with redox-active sorbents, where gating effectively prevented the cross-talk between feed and product gas streams for high-efficiency, directional carbon dioxide pumping. We anticipate our concept of dynamically regulating transport at gas-liquid interfaces to broadly inspire systems in fields of gas separation, miniaturized devices, multiphase reactors, and beyond.
