The cellulose smart material called electro-active paper (EAPap) is made by regenerating cellulose. However, the actuator performance is degraded at low humidity levels. To solve this drawback, EAPap bending actuators were made by activating wet cellulose films in three different room-temperature ionic liquids: l-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexaflurophosphate ($BMIPF_6$), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMICL) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluroborate ($BMIBF_4$). In the results, the actuator performance was dependent on the type of anions in the ionic liquids, in the order of $BF_4$>Cl>$PF_6$. The BMIBF 4-activated actuator showed the maximum displacement of 3.8 mm with low electrical power consumption at relatively low humidity. However, the BMICL-activated actuator showed a slight degradation of actuator performance. Further performance and durability improvement will be possible once various ionic liquids are blended with cellulose.

Polymer electrolytes - solid polymeric membranes with dissolved salts - are being intensively studied for use in all-solid-state lithium-metal-polymer consumer electronic device. The low ionic conductivity at room temperature of existing polymer electrolytes, however, has seriously hindered the development of such batteries for many applications. The incorporation of salts molten at room temperature (room temperature ionic liquids or RTILs) into polymer electrolytes may be the necessary solution to overcoming the inherent ionic conductivity limitations of 'dry' polymer electrolytes.

다양한 종류의 상온 이온성액체를 이용한 화학적 환원법으로 미세 은 입자를 제조하였다. 이온성액체의 음이온의 종류에 따라 제조된 은 입자는 다양한 크기와 입도분포를 가지는 것이 관찰되었으며, 이는 이온성액체의 음이온이 은 입자들의 결합에 영항을 주기 때문이다. 여러 가지 이온성액체 중에서 미세 은입자를 제조하는데 있어서 가장 효과적인 이온성액체는 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate였다.

Silver nanoparticles (<10 nm) were prepared in ultrasonic vibration-induced nanodroplets of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in combination with hydrophobic room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The Ag-precursor used were silver (I) complex, Ag$_2$(ehac)$_2$(eha)$_2$ (ehac = 2-ethylhexylammonium carbamate; eha = 2-ethylhexylamine), in IPA, while 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids bearing $SbF_6^-$, $PF_6^-$ and $NTf_2^-$ as counter anions were used as RTILs. During sonication for 10-90 min at room temperature, uniform silver nanoparticles with mean sizes of 2 to 8 nm were rapidly synthesized. Transmission electron micrographs also confirmed that silver nanoparticles have a spherical shape and diverse sizes depending on the reaction time (10-90 min).

The incorporation of room temperature ionic liquids (IL) in poly (ethyleneoxide)-lithium salt (PEO-LiX) based solid polymer electrolytes is presently being studied as an effective means of enhancing the room temperature ionic conductivity of these electrolytes to acceptable levels for use in lithium batteries. In the present study, $PEO_{20}-LiTFSI$ solid polymer electrolyte was blended with three different ionic liquids, namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (BMIMTFSI), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetraflouroborate (BMIMBF4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluromethanesulfonate ($BMIMCF_{3}SO_{3}$). The incorporation of all these ILs resulted in the enhancement of ionic conductivity, the effect being more pronounced at lower temperatures. Electrochemical properties of the blended electrolytes were studied by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry and interfacial resistance measurements. The optimum results were obtained with the blending of BMIMTFSI in the solid polymer electrolyte.

We herein report a new analytical application of XPS to the identification of organic molecules in room temperature ionic liquid for the first time. An organic compound, propargylamine (1), produced in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][$PF_6$]), which is one of the room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), via $A^3$ coupling reaction, is characterized by means of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) rather than using conventional organic compound analysis techniques. There are four non-equivalent carbons in RTILs and 1 each. The ratios of normalized integrated areas of the deconvoluted binding energy of core electron of carbon (C1s) peaks are well matched to the number of carbons in those compounds. The binding energies of C1s of the featured carbons in 1, C4 (sp carbons in acetylene group) and C5 ($sp^2$ carbons in benzene ring), are assigned 286.2 and 285.4 eV, respectively. These results will be able to provide an important tool and a new strategy for the analysis of organic molecules

이온전도도가 높은 상온 이온액을 이용하여 저온, 고온 상분리에 의한 multi-stage phase separation process로 새로운 고정화 이온액 전해질 막(supported ionic liquid electrolyte membranes, SILEMs)을 제조하였다. PVDF와 imidazolium계 이온액을 각각 분리막 소재와 전해액으로 사용하였다. 이온전도도 특성을 알아보기 위해 SILEMs을 LCR meter를 이용 해 $30^{\circ}C$부터 $130^{\circ}C$까지 실험하였다. 가습조건에서 cast Nafion 막의 이온전도도는 $30^{\circ}C$부터 $100^{\circ}C$까지는 직선적으로 증가하였으나 그 이후에는 감소하였다. 그러나 SILEMs의 경우 운전온도의 증가에 따라 이온전도도가 증가하였다. 또한 SILEMs의 이온전도도 거동은 가습과 관계없이 거의 같았다. SILEMs의 이온전도도는 $30^{\circ}C$에서 $2.7{\times}10^{-3}S/cm$이었고 온도가 $130^{\circ}C$까지 증가함에 따라 $2.2{\times}10^{-2}S/cm$까지 거의 직선적으로 증가하였다. $SiO_2$를 이용하여 SILEMs의 물리적 성질에 대한 무기첨가제의 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. SILEMs에 $SiO_2$의 첨가는 비록 약간의 이온전도도 감소는 있으나 SILEMs의 기계적 강도를 향상시킬 수 있었다.

Ionic liquids are alternative reaction media of increasing interest and are regarded as an eco-friendly alternatives, of potential use in place of the volatile organic solvents typically used in current chemical processing methods. They are emerging as the smart and excellent solvents, which are made of positive and negative ions that they are liquids near room temperature. The nucleophilic substitution reaction is one of the important method for inserting functional groups into a carbon skeleton. Many nucleophilic substitution reactions have been found with enhanced reactivity and selectivity in ionic liquid. In this review, some recent interesting results of nucleophilic substitution reactions such as hydroxylations, ether cleavages, carbon-X (X= carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine) bond forming reactions, and ring opening of epoxides in ionic liquids are discussed.

Electrochemical performance of Li-ion cells with $LiMn_2O_4$ cathodes and graphite anodes with carbonates electrolytes containing quaternary ammonium-based room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) is investigated. Eight different ILs based on tetraalkylammonium, pyrrolidinium or piperidinium cations paired with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide or tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate anions are examined in combination with dimethyl carbonate as a main solvent and fluoroethylene carbonate as a solid electrolyte interface forming agent. It is shown that cycling properties of the cells are strongly affected by the content of ILs in the electrolyte mixtures and its increase corresponds to lower discharge capacity retention. Since viscosity and conductivity of ILs are of a great importance for the electrolytes formulation, some kind of combined parameter should be used for the assessment of IL applicability and calculated values of Walden products for neat ILs represent one of the possible options. Besides, positive effect of ILs on reduction of flammability and enhancement of thermal stability of electrolytes in contact with charged electrodes have been demonstrated by means of self-extinguishing time test and differential scanning calorimetry respectively.
