Ionic Liquids and Their Application in Green Chemistry covers the synthesis and characterization of a broad range of ionic liquids (ILs) and their polymers along with their application in multiple areas for nanomaterials and environmental sustainability. It provides reference material for future research in IL-based technologies for environmental and energy applications. It covers not only the conventional IL applications but also advanced IL polymer-based materials and their application in energy storage and energy generator applications. It discusses in detail the major fields of application of IL-based materials in synthesis of nanomaterials and the role in graphene synthesis and its composites.
The combination of ILs and nanotechnologies enables attractive and efficient possibilities for further industrially applicable nanomaterials. Currently, researchers developing novel nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and nanomaterials are using ILs to increase the thermal and electrochemical stability of the nanoparticles. These new materials can be used as electro-sensors, catalysts, electronics, and photonics. In essence, ILs can enhance the properties of existing materials, thereby enabling a wider application area. Written by eminent scholars and leading experts from around the world, this book brings the literature up to date on the most recent progress in the field of IL based materials and their applications for the environmental sustainability. By presenting these themes, it will inspire novel research which will be significantly different from routine approaches. It begins with a section on the Fundamental Study and Introduction of Ionic liquids before delving into chapters on each of the various applications-providing all necessary information in a single resource.
This book serves as a valuable reference for academics and research scientists and beginning researchers in green, material and environmental chemistry and energy harvesting, as well as students of advanced programs in chemistry and chemical engineering.
