Understanding the properties of ionic liquids confined into nano-pores is required to use ionic liquids for many applications such as electrolytes for energy storage in capacitors and solar cells. Recently, polyoxometalate ionic liquids have attracted much attention for their potential applications in electrochemistry, catalysis, and nanotechnology. In this work, we have performed MD simulations on 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Keggin ([emim][PWO]) confined into armchair (20,20) CNTs to study the thermal properties and melting process.

Among the important needs of human societies is the elimination of environmental pollution and also the construction of high-performance and inexpensive biosensors. In this regard, the construction of multi-functional composites has been considered. A novel magnetic graphite carbon nitride decorated by tri-vanadium substituted Dawson-type heteropolytungstate nanocomposite (CN/FeO@PWV) effectively synthesized and characterized by prevalent functional analysis.

A new heterogeneous photoredox nanocatalyst WO/ZnO@NH-EY (EY: eosin Y) was fabricated and characterized employing some instrumental techniques such as XRD, FT-IR, ICP, TGA, and SEM. The photocatalytic efficiency of the prepared material was investigated in the preparation of various chromeno[4,3-]chromenes a simple and practical method. The chromene derivatives were prepared through the condensation of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone, and coumarin under an open-air atmosphere in the presence of a green LED under solventless conditions.
