유리지방산 함량이 높은 원료의 효율적인 바이오디젤 생산을 위해 다양한 고체산 촉매를 사용하여 회분식 반응기에서 유리지방산의 에스터화 반응에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 고체산 촉매는 상용 촉매인 황산기를 지닌 이온교환수지(Amberlyst-15, Dowex 50Wx8)와 실리카겔에 술폰기 및 염화술폰기 지닌 산성 이온성 액체가 고정화된 촉매($SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$, $SiO_2-[ASCBI][HSO_4]$), 단순히 실리카겔에 술폰기 및 염화술폰기의 산성적 기능기를 도입한 촉매들을 사용하여 반응특성을 비교하였다. 또한 에스터화 반응 실험변수로써 반응시간, 온도, 반응물간의 몰 비율(메탄올:올레산), 촉매량에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 사용된 고체산 촉매들 중 실리카겔에 고정화된 알릴이미다졸리움을 포함한 산성 이온성 액체 촉매가 가장 우수한 반응성을 나타내었다. 특히 실리카겔에 3-allyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl)imidazolium hydrogen sulfate가 고정화된 $SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$ 촉매가 같은 반응조건에서 기존의 알려진 Amberlyst-15보다 더 나은 성능을 보였으며, 353 K 반응온도와 5 wt%의 촉매량, 메탄올/올레산의 몰 비율 20의 조건에서 2시간 동안 약 96%의 높은 전환율을 나타내었다. $SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$의 높은 촉매 활성은 실리카에 고정화된 강한 브뢴스테드산의 작용기에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 바이오디젤로부터 촉매의 분리 및 회수는 간단한 경사법 혹은 여과법에 의해 쉽게 분리할 수 있고, 이를 회수하여 재사용이 가능하다.

Ionic liquid 기능화 및 메탈로센 촉매 담지를 위해 세 종류의 무정형 실리카와 SBA-15를 담체로 사용하였다. Ionic liquid가 표면 기능화된 실리카는 1,3-bis(cyanomethyl)imidazolium chloride의 염소 음이온과 실리카 표면의 OH 그룹 사이의 상호작용에 의해 합성되었다. 에틸렌 중합을 위해 ionic liquid가 기능화된 실리카에 메탈로센과 조촉매 methylaluminoxane(MAO)을 담지하였다. SBA-15와 비교하여 큰 기공 크기를 갖는 ionic liquid가 표면 기능화된 XPO-2412와 XPO-2410에 담지된 촉매는 기능화되지 않은 실리카에 담지된 촉매보다 높은 활성을 보였다. 그러나 SBA-15에 담지된 촉매는 ionic liquid의 표면 기능화 후에 활성이 감소하였다. 이는 ionic liquid와 메탈로센 촉매, 조촉매 MAO가 담지되면 기공의 크기가 크게 줄어들기 때문에 중합 시 에틸렌 모노머와 조촉매가 기공 내 촉매 활성점으로 확산하는데 제한을 받기 때문이다. 또한 실리카 표면의 OH 그룹의 농도 변화에 따른 촉매의 중합 활성에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. 무정형 실리카의 OH 그룹의 농도가 증가할수록 중합 활성도 증가하였으며 실리카에 담지된 촉매의 중합 활성은 ionic liquid 표면처리 후에도 유사한 경향을 보였다.

n-Methylimidazole, acetonitrile, benzylbromide 및 sodiumhexafluoroantimonate를 이용하여 염기성 촉매 1-benzyle-3-mehyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH)를 합성하고, tetramethyl biphenol (TMBP)과 epichlorohydrine을 이용하여 결정성 바이페닐 에폭시를 합성하여 FT-IR과 ¹H-NMR으로 구조를 분석하였다. 합성한 촉매 BMH의 경화 거동을 고찰하기 위하여 0 ℃에서 250 ℃까지 5 ℃/min의 속도로 승온시키면서 에폭시 수지에 대하여 BMH의 질량비를 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt.%로 변화시켜 시차주사 열량계(differential scanning calorimeter, DSC)로 분석하였다. 그 결과, BMH 촉매는 비스페놀 A형 에폭시와 양이온 중합체의 단계적 가열과정에서 빠른 경화 특성을 보였다. 또한 합성한 바이페닐 에폭시는 일정한 온도에서 급격히 점도가 낮아지는 특성과 바이페놀의 강직한 골격구조를 가지는 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 결정성 구조 및 고내열성을 요구하는 반도체용 봉지재료의 대표격인 epoxy molding compound (EMC)의 원료로서의 적용 가능성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 본 연구에서 개발한 바이페닐 에폭시는 결정성 구조로 이루어진 것을 확인하였으며, 경화제로 페놀 노볼락수지와 고온에서의 경화반응 시, BMH 촉매 존재 시에는 150 ℃ 근처에서 경화반응이 관찰되어 EMC의 원료로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The development of high temperature-proton exchange fuel cell (HT-PEFC) is a key in solving the problem of carbon monoxide poisoning of the platinum at anode as well as water management in PEFCs operated below $90^{\circ}C$. In order to overcome these main issues, PEFCs must be operated at high temperature above $120^{\circ}C$. Ionic liquids are available for HT-PEFC due to exhibiting non-volatility and thermal stability. Ionic liquids are however leached out from polymeric matrix resulting in the increase of gas permeability. In this study, we have prepared and characterized the composite membranes with the ionic liquids consisting of 1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-3-butyl imidazolium chloride immobilized by the cross-linkers in pore-filling membrane to prevent to be leached out from the membrane. We confirmed that cross-linked ionic liquids were not leached out from the composite membranes through the various characteristic analyses. It was also verified that the prepared membranes are thermally stable from the result of TG analysis. The pore-filling membranes with the immobilized ionic liquids have a high proton conductivity over $10^{-2}$ S/cm at high temperature (> $120^{\circ}C$).

A series of polystyrene-supported 1-(propyl-3-sulfonate)-3-methyl-imidazolium hydrosulfate acidic ionic liquid (PS-$[SO_3H-PMIM][HSO_4]$) catalysts were prepared and tested for mononitration of simple aromatics compounds with nitric acid. It was found that the reactivity of the catalysts increased with increasing $[SO_3H-PMIM][HSO_4]$ content. The para-selectivity was not only related to the $[SO_3H-PMIM][HSO_4]$ content but also the substituent groups in aromatics. A reaction mechanism of nitration over this new catalyst was proposed. The catalytic activity of this catalyst decreased slightly after fifth runs in the synthesis of nitrotoluene.

A new fluorescent system (acridine/RTIL hybrid gel) confined in the 3D micro-structure of a poly(lactic acid) membrane were prepared from 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids ([bmim]X (X = $SbF_6$, $NTf_2$, Cl); RTILs), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and acridine via the sol-gel route. SEM images showed that, in the presence of [bmim]$SbF_6$ and [bmim]$NTf_2$, 3D-ly paticulated structures were created inside the PLA membranes and acridine/RTIL hybrid gels were confined in gabs of particulates. However, the use of [bmim]Cl induced the formation of a 3D-ly porous structure containing the hybrid gel of acridine/[bmimCl in the micropores. The three fluorescent systems exhibited different fluorescence behaviors (fluorescence maximum and intensity) depending on the C2-H acidity scale of the RTILs (or their anion type). Acridine gels hybridized with [bmim]$SbF_6$ and [bmim]$NTf_2$ showed blue fluorescence with relative high intensity, whereas the hybrid gel with [bmim]Cl exhibited almost no fluorescence under dry conditions. However, the acridine/[bmim]Cl hybrid system in the micro-porous PLA membrane started to emit fluorescent light under humid conditions and showed a possible response, indicating that it could be applied as a humidity sensor.

Mechanisms underlying the impacts of interactions between carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and ionic liquids (ILs) on the physicochemical behavior of CNPs need to be more full worked out. This manuscript describes a theoretical investigation at multiple levels on the interactions of fullerene $C_{60}$ with 21 imidazolium-based ILs of varying alkyl side chain lengths and anionic types and their impacts on $C_{60}$ dispersion behavior. Results show that ${\pi}$-cation interaction contributed to mechanism of the $C_{60}$-IL interaction more than ${\pi}$-anion interaction. The calculated interaction energy ($E_{INT}$) indicates that $C_{60}$ can form stable complex with each IL molecule. Moreover, the direction of charge transfer occurred from IL to $C_{60}$ during the $C_{60}$-IL interaction. Quantitative models were developed to evaluate the self-diffusion coefficient of $C_{60}$ ($D_{fullerene}$) in bulk ILs. Three interpretative molecular descriptors (heat of formation, $E_{INT}$, and charge) that describe the $C_{60}$-IL interactions and the alkyl side chain length were found to be determinants affecting $D_{fullerene}$.

The effect of the addition of ionic liquids with four different cations (imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, piperidinium and pyridinium) on the performance of dye-sensitized $TiO_2$ solar cells based on electrolytes containing a t-butylpyridine (TBP) in 3-methoxypropionitrile (MPN) was studied. A total of 18 ionic liquids with mono-, di- and tri-alkyl derivatives were used in the present study, and among them a pyridinium cation with a mono-alkyl group showed better cell efficiency than the others. The best photoelectric conversion efficiency, 7.213%, was obtained using 1-hexylpyridinium iodide with an open-circuit photovoltage ($V_{oc}$) = 0.731 V, a short-circuit photocurrent density ($J_{sc}$) = 16.175 $mA/cm^2$, and a fill factor (ff) = 0.610 under AM1.5 and 100 $mW/cm^2$ illumination.

Under solvent-free conditions and in one-pot, a series of 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-6-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-pyridines and 4-aryl-3-cyano-6-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2(1H)-pyridinones were prepared using 3,4-dimethoxyacetophenone, an aldehyde, malononitrile (or ethyl cyanoacetate), and ammonium acetate in the presence of 3-methyl-1-(4-sulfonylbutyl)imidazolium hydrogen sulfate $[HO_3S(CH_2)_4MIM][HSO_4]$ (a Br${\o}$nsted acidic ionic liquid) as the catalyst in very short reaction time. The preference for the formation of more stable tautomers was consistence with the theoretical calculation using the Gaussian 03 program at the B3LYP hybrid density functional level.

Ionic liquids(ILs) have been the most investigated chemicals among green solvents including water, glycerol, supercritical carbon dioxdie($scCO_2$). ILs are attracting organic as well as inorganic chemicals because most ionic liquids' vapor pressures are very low so that ILs are liquids phase at ambient conditions. ILs are composed of various anions and cations, thus chemists can design functionalized solvents and/or catalysts that can be used in specific synthetic reactions by means of combinations of different ions. Many scientists believe ILs being green materials because of its low vapor pressure as well as the flexibility in controlling the chemical and physical properties. In this review the author describes recent development of ILs focused on imidazolium and pyridinium ILs which are being most investigated presently. In order to apply this materials in industrial level, the toxicity matter must be resolved first. In this regard, the author describes recent research trend regarding environmental effects by ILs as well as some meaningful results as well.
