Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special category of molten salts solely composed of ions with varied
molecular symmetry and charge delocalization. The versatility in combining varied cation …

Ionic liquids (ILs) offer a wide range of promising applications because of their much
enhanced properties. However, further development of such materials depends on the …

Much of chemistry is concerned with the study of reactions and processes in solution, that is,
where liquids are used as solvents. 2, 3 The solvent is the (excess) liquid phase in which …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely investigated as novel solvents, electrolytes, and soft
functional materials. Nevertheless, the widespread applications of ILs in most cases have …

This Review covers the recent developments (2005–2015) in the design, synthesis,
characterization, and application of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. It was designed to give …

Modern room temperature ionic liquids are structurally defined by symmetries on different
length scales. Polar–apolar alternation defines their nanoscale structural heterogeneity …

Understanding the degradation mechanisms of organic cations under basic conditions is
extremely important for the development of durable alkaline energy conversion devices …

Ionic liquids represent an exciting novel class of materials with potentially enormous
applicative impact; they are proposed as environmentally responsible replacements for the …

Ionic gating has emerged as an effective and versatile tool to tune the charge-carrier density
of a material and control its electronic ground state, as well as to develop low-temperature …

Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials with a diverse and extraordinary set of
