Palladium nanoparticles have been deposited onto imidazolium bromide-functionalized ionic MWCNTs through hydrogen reduction of Na2PdCl4 in water without aid of surfactants under extremely mild conditions, and combined with an ionic liquid to create a new recyclable ionic liquid-based catalytic system allowing up to 50 times recycling.

With the increased amount of focus is being put towards reducing the emissions results from fossil fuel usually composed of hydrocarbons and impurities. The study aim at utilizing the ability of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [OMIM][BF4]. Ionic liquid as the suitable solvent for the extraction of the thiophene and its derivatives from the model gasoline. The proces...

The retention behaviour of four active compounds from Sophora Flavescens Ait using three ionic liquids as mobile phase modifiers was examined. The effect of the pH and the amount of ionic liquid modifier on the retention of these compounds was determined in methanol/water (v/v) as the mobile phase containing different ionic liquids ranging in concentration from 0.1 mmol/L to 3.0 mmol/L. The ion...

We report substantial improvements and modulation in the photocurrent (PC) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of monolayer MoS2 taken under electrostatic and ionic liquid gating conditions. The photocurrent and photoluminescence spectra show good agreement with a dominant peak at 1.85eV. The magnitude of the photoluminescence can be increased 300% by ionic liquid gating due to the passivation o...

The challenge in preparation of ionic liquids containing a strong alkaline anion is to identify a suitable cation which can tolerate the harsh conditions induced by the anion. In this study, a commercial quaternary ammonium compound (quat) benzalkonium [ADBA] (alkyldimethylbenzylammonium) was used as a cation in the synthesis of different alkaline ionic liquids. In fact, the precursor, benzalko...

Ionic liquid surfaces can become electrically charged during X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experiments, due to the flux of photoelectrons leaving the surface. This causes a shift in the measured binding energies of X-ray photoelectron peaks that depends on the magnitude of the surface charging. Consequently, a charge correction method is required for ionic liquids. Here we demonstrate the na...

Direct analysis of samples, regardless their origin, is desirable although for the majority of cases unfeasible on account of the complexity of the sample matrix, inadequate concentration of the target analytes, or even incompatibility with the detector. In these cases, a sample pretreatment step is required for interference removal and analytes separation/preconcentration. Despite valuable adv...

The first ligand-exchange rate measurements of lanthanide ions in an ionic liquid are reported here. The trend of water-exchange rates in the ionic liquid is the opposite of the trend in water.

a homogeneous ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate doped with licl ([bmim]bf4-licl) was found as catalyst solvents for the synthesis of dicoumarols by the condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aldehyde at 80 ˚c. in this field, several types of aromatic aldehyde, containing electron-withdrawing groups as well as electron-donating groups, were rapidly changed to the correspo...
