Ionic liquids are very popular materials and they enjoy a plethora of applications in various domains of physical sciences.
\nFor example, they are used as \u201csolvents\u201d for organic, organometallic syntheses and catalysis, as electrolytes in electrochemistry, in fuel and solar cells, as lubricants, as a stationary phase for chromatography, as matrices for mass spectrometry, supports for the immobilization of enzymes, in separation technologies, as liquid crystals, templates for the synthesis of mesoporous, nano-materials and ordered films, materials for embalming and tissue preservation, etc.<\/p>\n
Here is provided a map of the applications of ionic liquids.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The French Petroleum Institute, in Paris, have commercially licensed an ionic liquids-based process that uses these properties for preparing polybutene dimers used in plastics, automobile tires, and related materials.<\/li>\n
In 2000, chemical ingeneers from the University of Pittsburgh, in Pensylvania, used enzymes in an ionic liquid to synthetize Z-aspartame, a precursor of the artificial sweetener.
\nRhodococcus\u00a0R312, a whole-cell biocatalyst, also works in ionic liquids.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
Scientists involved with ionic liquids also belive that they will be used for completely new applications, for example:<\/p>\n
