A decrease in CO emissions is urgently required in the present situation due to the fast growth of carbon dioxide (CO) in the atmosphere, which has caused a series of global climate issues. This study used an impregnation-evaporation method to immobilize an amino functionalized ionic liquid [COHmim][Lys] on a chromatographic column filler GDX-103 and create a novel supported ionic liquid. The results showed that the supported ionic liquid with 60 wt % ionic liquid content had the best adsorption performance at 40 °C, and the CO adsorption isotherm showed that the adsorption capacity at 0.1 MPa was 1.29 mmol CO/g sorbent, which was 6 times greater than the adsorption capacity of the pure carrier. The sample with 60% ionic liquid content has an adsorption capacity of 1.02 mmol CO/g sorbent under the condition of CO/N mixed gas with 10% CO content. This is 43 times greater than the adsorption capacity of the pure carrier, and its adsorption performance is stable after three adsorption and desorption cycles. Through the rich porous structure of GDX-103, the ionic liquid is effectively supported and dispersed, which expands the contact area between CO and ionic liquid and enhances the mass transfer of CO. At the same time, CO can be chemically bound to the groups on the anion of ionic liquid and be immobilized, so it has a high selective adsorption capacity of CO, which makes it a great alternative to traditional CO adsorbents.

ConspectusLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on graphite anodes are a widely used state-of-the-art battery technology, but their energy density is approaching theoretical limits, prompting interest in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) that can achieve higher energy density. In addition, the limited availability of lithium reserves raises supply concerns; therefore, research on postlithium metal batteries is underway. A major issue with these metal anodes, including lithium, is dendritic formation and insufficient reversibility, which leads to safety risks due to short circuits and the use of flammable electrolytes.

: Laurocapram (Azone) attracted attention 40 years ago as a compound with the highest skin-penetration-enhancing effect at that time; however, its development was shelved due to strong skin irritation. We had already prepared and tested an ante-enhancer (IL-Azone), an ionic liquid (IL) with a similar structure to Azone, consisting of ε-caprolactam and myristic acid, as an enhancer candidate that maintains the high skin-penetration-enhancing effect of Azone with low skin irritation. In the present study, fatty acids with different carbon numbers (caprylic acid: C8, capric acid: C10, lauric acid: C12, myristic acid: C14, and oleic acid: C18:1) were selected and used with ε-caprolactam to prepare various IL-Azones in the search for a more effective IL-Azone.

This study explores the effects of a subcritical seawater treatment (SST) on buckwheat waste (BW), and the use of the hydrolysate as a liquid fertilizer to improve the growth of lettuce ( L.). Three temperature treatments (110 °C, 170 °C, 230 °C) were used for the SST, and the ionic composition in the seawater achieved the depolymerization and degradation of BW.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent flexibility, strong interfacial adhesion, and good processibility. However, the poor interfacial contact between the separate solid polymer electrolytes and electrodes leads to large interfacial impedance and, thus, hinders Li transport. In this work, an ionic liquid-modified comb-like crosslinked network composite solid-state electrolyte with an integrated electrolyte/cathode structure is prepared by in situ ultraviolet (UV) photopolymerization.

Thanks to their unique physicochemical properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have moved from niche academic interest to critical components in various industrial applications. The textile industry, facing significant environmental and economic pressures, has begun to explore ILs as sustainable alternatives to traditional solvents and chemicals. This review summarizes research on the use of ILs in various textile processes, including dyeing, finishing, and fiber recycling, where their high thermal stability, tunable solubility, and low volatility are exploited to reduce resource consumption and environmental impact.
