Ionic liquids' low volatility effectively eliminates a major pathway for environmental release and contamination. Ionic liquids' aquatic toxicity is as severe as or more so than many current solvents. [65] [66] [67] Ultrasound can degrade solutions of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid to relatively innocuous ...
Other examples include BMIM-PF 6, [Bmim]BF 4, [1] and C4mim-FeCl 4, the latter of which is a magnetic ionic liquid. These salts are currently of interest in industry due to their ability to be infinitely recycled and their amenability to solvation at room temperature, making them excellent green solvents.

These properties allow for ionic liquids to be used as green solvents, as their low volatility limits VOC emissions compared to conventional solvents. The ecotoxicity and poor degradability of ionic liquids has been recognized in the past because the resources typically used for their production are non-renewable, as is the case for imidazole ...
The use of ionic liquids as cosolvents in this study and many similar demonstrates the variability of this methodology, where cosolvent systems can extend beyond standard conventions of polar and non-polar solvents to affect change on a mechanistic level.
1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride or [EMIM]Cl is an ionic liquid that can be used in cellulose processing. [1] [2] The cation consists of a five-membered ring with two nitrogen and three carbon atoms, i.e. a derivative of imidazole, with ethyl and methyl groups substituted at the two nitrogen atoms. [3]
The electrochemical window (EW) is an important concept in organic electrosynthesis and design of batteries, especially organic batteries. [5] This is because at higher voltage (greater than 4.0 V) organic electrolytes decompose and interferes with the oxidation and reduction of the organic cathode/anode materials.
The solubility of salts is highest in polar solvents (such as water) or ionic liquids, but tends to be low in nonpolar solvents (such as petrol/gasoline). [72] This contrast is principally because the resulting ion–dipole interactions are significantly stronger than ion-induced dipole interactions, so the heat of solution is higher.
