Significant Cation Effects in Carbon Dioxide-Ionic Liquid Systems

Significant Cation Effects in Carbon Dioxide–Ionic Liquid Systems

Carbon dioxide-ionic liquid systems are of great current interest, and significant efforts have been made lately to understand the intermolecular interactions in these systems. In general, all the experimental and theoretical studies have concluded so far that the main solute-solvent interaction takes effect through the anion, and the cation has no, or only a secondary role in solvation. In thi...

Ionic Liquid-Based Optical and Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Sensors

Due to their unusual physicochemical properties (e.g., high thermal stability, low volatility, high intrinsic conductivity, wide electrochemical windows and good solvating ability), ionic liquids have shown immense application potential in many research areas. Applications of ionic liquid in developing various sensors, especially for the sensing of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins ...

Formic acid electro-synthesis from carbon dioxide in a room temperature ionic liquid.

The novel synthesis of formic acid has been achieved in a room temperature ionic liquid via the reaction of electro-activated carbon dioxide and protons on pre-anodised platinum. Only mild reaction conditions of room temperature and 1 atm CO(2) were used. This work highlights the effect of pre-anodisation on Pt surfaces.

Electrochemical activation of carbon dioxide in ionic liquid: synthesis of cyclic carbonates at mild reaction conditions.

Electrocatalytic cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to epoxides in room temperature ionic liquids as reaction media without any additional supporting electrolyte and catalyst could be conducted with high to excellent performances under mild conditions.
