Ionic Liquids (204)

Ionic liquids are salts that exist in a liquid state at room temperature. They possess distinctive properties, including low volatility, high thermal stability, and the capability to dissolve various substances. These features make ionic liquids highly useful in fields such as electrochemistry, catalysis, and separation processes. For instance, they serve as electrolytes in fuel cells and batteries, solvents for chemical reactions, and selective agents in extraction processes. Furthermore, their properties can be tailored through chemical modification, increasing their adaptability and broadening their range of applications.
