Environmental Application, Fate, Effects, and Concerns of Ionic Liquids: A Review

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2015, Volume and Issue: 49(21), P. 12611 - 12627

Published: Oct. 7, 2015

Ionic liquids (ILs) comprise mostly of organic salts with negligible vapor pressure and low flammability that are proposed as replacements for volatile solvents. ILs have been promoted "green" solvents widely investigated their various applications. Although the utility these chemicals is unquestionable, toxic effects attracted great attention. In order to manage potential hazards design environmentally benign ILs, understanding environmental behavior, fate important. this review, relevant issues including application, behavior toxicity addressed. addition, also presented influence on other coexisting contaminants, important routes designing nontoxic techniques might be adopted removal ILs.

A Prussian Blue/Zinc Secondary Battery with a Bio-Ionic Liquid–Water Mixture as Electrolyte

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 8(19), P. 12158 - 12164

Published: April 27, 2016

The development of rechargeable zinc ion batteries with high capacity and cycling stability is a great challenge in aqueous solution due to hydrogen evolution dendritic growth zinc. In this study, we present secondary battery, comprising metallic anode, bio-ionic liquid-water electrolyte, nanostructured prussian blue analogue (PBA) cathode. Both the Zn anode PBA cathode exhibit good compatibility which enables electrochemical deposition/dissolution at reversible insertion/extraction Zn(2+) ions cell exhibits well-defined discharge voltage plateau ∼1.1 V specific about 120 mAh g(-1) current 10 mA (∼0.1 C). shows reversibility, dendrite-free deposits were obtained after 100 cycles. integration an environmentally friendly cathode, nontoxic low-cost biodegradable ionic electrolyte provides new perspective develop for various applications electric energy storage.
