To evaluate the feasibility of extraction of 1-methylimidazole from its low-concentration aqueous solution by ionic liquids, the liquid–liquid equilibrium of the ternary system of water + 1-methylimidazole + ionic liquid ([Hmim][PF6], [Omim][PF6], or [Omim][BF4]) was determined at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The distribution coefficient and selectivity were calculated in accordance with the experimental results. The effects of the anion and cation of ionic liquids on the separation ability were discussed. The results indicated that the extraction capacity increased with increasing cationic carbon chain length, and the change of anions significantly affected the distribution coefficient and selectivity. As expected, the three ionic liquids were feasible as extractants for separating 1-methylimidazole from water. It also indicated that [Omim][PF6] was a more suitable extractant than [Hmim][PF6] and [Omim][BF4] for the extraction. The highest distribution coefficient and selectivity of [Omim][PF6] could reach 1.71 and 111.92, respectively, indicating [Omim][PF6] as a good choice for extracting 1-methylimidazole from water. In addition, the non-random two-liquid model was employed to successfully correlate the experimental data with a root-mean-square deviation of less than 0.0188. Moreover, a GUI-MATLAB tool was used to verify the consistency of the correlated parameters.

Ionic liquids (ILs) which belong to the molten salt of a high ionic environment exhibit a number of unique properties, including the formation of various heterogeneities in their microemulsion. We found that auto-generated radicals within a [Bmim][PF 6 ]/[C 16 mim][PF 6 ]/PBS reverse micelles (IL-RMs) and then the radicals were quantified in this study. For the radical confirmation, EPR spectroscopy with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) free radical scavenger was carried out. A spectroscopic chemical probe of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine (DPPHH) was employed to quantify the radicals in the IL-RM systems. The mechanism of the radical generation was also proposed. The DPPHH probe method is simple, rapid, and sensitive to quantify free radicals in the IL-RM systems. Finally, IL-RMs were successfully applied to degrade Rhodamine B (Rho-B) dye with low degradation cost, simple operation, short time consumption, and remarkable degradation effect. The results show a near 100% degradation rate for 10 μmol·L −1 Rho-B in the IL-RMs system with pH 7.4 PBS containing 1 mmol·L −1 chloroacetic acid as an aqueous phase. Graphical abstract

In dual–ion batteries (DIBs), it is a key issue to search for electrolyte solutions compatible with graphite positive electrode. The solutions of LiPF6 dissolved in short chain esters like ethyl methyl carbonate or methyl propionate have emerged as suitable choices, in which graphite positive electrode can deliver a PF6– storage capacity about 100 mA h g–1. However, in a much shorter chain ester, methyl acetate (MA), the PF6– storage capacity delivered by graphite electrode is limited to 60 mA h g–1. In this paper, the flame–retardant solvent of trimethyl phosphate (TMP) is introduced into LiPF6–MA solutions to improve the electrochemical performance of graphite electrode. The reversible capacity can be enhanced to near 90 mA h g–1 in 3 M LiPF6–MA/TMP (6:4 by vol.). Traditional electrochemical tests in combination with ex situ/in situ X–ray diffraction (XRD) characterizations have been applied to probe the charge storage mechanism across the interfaces between graphite electrode and electrolyte solutions. Raman/fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra have been carried out to explore the solvation states of ions in the solutions.

Solvent dramatically affects the behavior of anion intercalation into graphite electrode in dual-ion batteries (DIBs). Our previous studies have confirmed that the intercalation of ethylene carbonate (EC) solvated PF6− is considerably suppressed. However, in this letter, we show that EC can apparently co-intercalate with PF6− into graphite electrode once ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is involved inside. In situ X-ray diffraction (in situ XRD), ex situ XRD, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) have been carried out to clarify the underlying reason.

The preparation of mixed-shell polymeric nanoparticles (MSPNs) and their stabilized non-aqueous Pickering emulsions was described in this study. Poly(methyl methacrylate)–poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PMMA–P4VP) diblock copolymer nanoparticles with different morphologies including spheres, worms and vesicles were first prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer-based polymerization induced self-assembly in toluene. C18 alkyl chains were subsequently grafted onto the surfaces of the as-prepared PMMA–P4VP nanoparticles, affording C18/PMMA–P4VP MSPNs with P4VP blocks as the core and C18/PMMA chains as the mixed shells. MSPNs were utilized as Pickering emulsifiers to prepare non-aqueous Pickering emulsions, where [Bmim][PF6] and toluene oils were selected. Two kinds of different Pickering emulsions, [Bmim][PF6]-in-toluene and toluene-in-[Bmim][PF6], could be formed, depending on the initial location of MSPNs. However, neither of them could be generated when PMMA–P4VP diblock copolymer nanoparticles were adopted as Pickering emulsifiers, indicating MSPNs were better than diblock copolymer nanoparticle precursors in the aspect of stabilizing oil–oil interfaces. The formation mechanisms of different kinds of Pickering emulsions were unraveled in this study.

A series of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid ([C12MIM][PF6]) blends were prepared by melt blending. The compatibility of blends was verified by scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The introduction of [C12MIM][PF6] decreased the glass transition temperature of the blends due to its plasticization effect and increased the diffusivity of CO2 without significantly affecting the CO2 solubility. These blends were foamed with supercritical CO2 as the blowing agent via a pressure-quenching process. The foaming conditions are divided into three regions according to the main morphological difference of foams. At relatively low temperatures and pressures, neat PMMA could not be foamed, while the addition of [C12MIM][PF6] facilitated the formation of cells. By increasing temperature or pressure, neat PMMA foams were obtained with wide cell size distribution, while the blend foams were formed with narrowed cell size distribution and increased cell size. At high temperatures and pressures, neat PMMA was foamed with narrow cell size distribution and high cell density, while the major effect of [C12MIM][PF6] was to increase the cell size. These results indicated that the plasticization effect and the low surface energy of [C12MIM][PF6] accounted for the differences on the cell morphology between neat PMMA and the blend foams.

A water-in-ionic liquid microemulsion ([Bmim]PF 6 /Tween20/H 2 O) was applied as reusable reaction medium to esterify phytosterols with fatty acid by Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) successfully. Two kinds of commercial CRLs, AY30 and AYS which cannot effectively catalyze esterification in conventional reaction system were found effective in the microemulsion system. Effects of reaction parameters on esterification were investigated; results showed that the conversion rate of 87.9 and 95.1 % was obtained in 24 and 48 h of reaction, respectively, under the optimized condition: the molar ratio of water to Tween 20 ( w
0 value) at 5.4, Tween 20 at a concentration of 305 mM, 50 °C,pH 7.4, 10 % of enzyme loading (w/w, with respect to total reactants), and phytosterols/lauric acid molar ratio of 1:2. Moreover, by using n-hexane as the extraction agent, the lipase-encapsulated microemulsion could be reused at least seven times (>168 h) without significant changes in the conversion rate, while achieving a purpose of simple separation and purification.

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium data for the ternary system of ethyl acetate + ethanol + ionic liquids (ILs) were obtained at 101.3 kPa. The ILs used were 1,3-dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([MMIM][DMP]) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([OMIM][PF 6 ]). The vapor–liquid equilibrium data were correlated using the nonrandom two-liquid model, and the results were well fitted with the experimental data, showing that the minimum concentration (mole fraction) of [MMIM][DMP] and [OMIM][PF 6 ] to break the azeotrope of ethyl acetate + ethanol system was 0.048 and 0.141, respectively. [MMIM][DMP] brought about a monotonous “salting-out” effect on ethyl acetate, while [OMIM][PF 6 ] brought about a crossover effect containing “salting-in” and “salting-out” on ethyl acetate. Finally, polarity of solvents and ions dissociated by ILs was analyzed through the σ-profiles, indicating the mechanism of various separation results using these two ILs. It is suggested that [MMIM][DMP] and [OMIM][PF 6 ] can be used as good candidate entrainers in separating ethyl acetate and ethanol.

A [BMIM]PF 6 ion liquid (IL)-assisted synthesis of a rutin imprinted monolith (RIM) was carried out in an in-situ polymerization method. Bi-functional monomers and a ternary porogen containing IL was used for the RIM preparation and a L 9 (3 3 ) orthogonal factor design performed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and N 2 adsorption method was for structural characterization of the RIMs. The monolith was directly used as stationary phase in liquid chromatography to test the retention selectivity, adsorption capacity and extraction application. The optimized porogen consists of 900 μL DMF, 144 μL ACN and 216 μL IL. The monolith RIM-13 obtained under the optimized conditions possessed improved adsorption performance, with a dynamic adsorption capacity of 6.695 mg/g, an imprinting efficiency of 4.841 and a selectivity α value of 4.821. Additionally, this monolith had also higher specific surface area , pore volume and permeability than that obtained without IL and the homogeneity of the imprint sites could be improved by using IL. When the RIM-13 was applied to the separation and purification of rutin from tartary buckwheat, a rutin product with a purity higher than 92 % can be obtained by one cycle. This molecular imprint solid-phase extraction (MI-SPE) is of potency to be applied to preparative-scale separation of other natural products.

In this work, a water-soluble cationic fluorescent probe with AIE features exhibited unique sensing of charge-diffuse anions, namely, SCN − , PF 6 − , and HSO 3 − via ionic interactions and the subtle cooperation of the tunable hydrophobicity . The effect of the fatty chain length on the cationic probes indicated that the sensitivity and selectivity of the probes can be rationally improved by switching their aggregation tendency (hydrophobic effect) in water or by integrating them in the form of a fluorescence chemosensor array. SEM images suggest that different morphologies were formed in the anion-recognition-triggered self-assemblies of the probes, which can be attributed to the different anion molecular geometries. Additionally, the precipitation of the SCN − -recognition complex provided a new insight to the separation of anions from an aqueous environment .

A composited flame-retardant phosphorus-containing polyimine vitrimer films (Ionic-PIs) were synthesized by using ionic liquid BMIM∙PF 6 containing flame retardant elements N, P and F as the regulator. The effects of the addition amount of BMIM∙PF 6 on the mechanical properties, degradation, recycling, and flame retardancy were investigated. Compared to intrinsically phosphorus-containing polyimine film (PI), the composited Ionic-PIs exhibited better mechanical strength and toughness. Hydrogen bonding interactions between BMIM∙PF 6 and polyimine network greatly increased Ionic-PI’s mechanical strength at a low addition of 1 wt%, and the microphase separation caused by the aggregation of BMIM∙PF 6 drastically enhanced their toughness as the addition increased. Ionic-PIs exhibited excellent reprocessability at 85 °C and degradable recyclability under acidic conditions. In addition, due to the synergistic effect of condensed-phase and gas-phase flame-retardant mechanisms, the Ionic-PIs possessed good flame retardancy with LOI above 27 % and a UL-94 test reaching VTM-0 grade, which was important for the high-fire safety of polyimine vitrimer. This work is helpful to provide a simple and feasible strategy to modulate the comprehensive properties of cross-linked polyimine vitrimer film and to expand their applications in many fields.

Selective catalytic hydrotreatment of lignin-derived phenols and dimeric ethers into alkanes is crucial for utilization of lignin and its fragments. Herein, we developed an efficient catalytic system with well-dispersed metal nanoparticles supported on SBA-15 synergistic with an ionic liquid. The catalytic system could catalyze the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of various monomeric and dimeric lignin-derived phenols into the corresponding alkanes under acid free conditions. The synergistic [Bmim]PF6-Ru/SBA-15 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) catalysis exhibited the best HDO activity for lignin-derived phenols and dimeric ethers with >99.0% conversion and maximum >98.0% selectivity of the corresponding alkanes. The yield of cyclohexane from diphenyl ether was 97.7% with 100% conversion under 2 MPa H2 at 130 °C for 6 h. The mechanism investigation confirmed that the Ru/SBA-15 catalyst and the anion of [Bmim]PF6 played crucial roles in the hydrogenation process and deoxidization process, respectively. The catalytic system was reused six times for HDO of diphenyl ether to test its stability.
