Handbook of Ionic Liquids: Fundamentals, Applications and Sustainability

Handbook of Ionic Liquids

A one-stop reference for researchers interested in ionic liquids and their applications

Handbook of Ionic Liquids: Fundamentals, Applications, and Sustainability, constitutes an overview of the latest advances in ionic liquid chemistry. It offers a comprehensive summary of the development history of ionic liquids, their design, and the diverse array of applications--including green and sustainable synthesis, catalysis, drug development and medicine, biotechnology, materials science, and electrochemistry.

The authors explain a variety of processes used to develop novel materials with ionic liquids and describe likely future developments using practical examples taken from contemporary research and development in the field. The book includes discussions of biomass conversion, CO₂ capture, and more. You’ll also discover:

• A thorough introduction to the theory of ionic liquids, as well as their different types and recycling methods
• Comprehensive explorations of the physico-chemical properties of ionic liquids
• Practical discussions of ionic liquid synthesis and analysis, including green synthesis and heterocyclic chemistry applications
• Summary of the use of ionic liquids in materials science, including polymers, energy conversion, and storage devices

Perfect for organic, catalytic, physical, analytical, and environmental chemists, Handbook of Ionic Liquids: Fundamentals, Applications, and Sustainability will also benefit electrochemists, materials scientists, and biotechnologists with an interest in ionic liquids and their application.
