Composites of porous materials with ionic liquids: Synthesis, characterization, applications, and beyond

Modification of the physicochemical properties of porous materials by using ionic liquids (ILs) has been widely studied for various applications. The combined advantages of ILs and porous materials provide great potential in gas adsorption and separation, catalysis, liquid-phase adsorption and separation, and ionic conductivity owing to the superior performances of the hybrid composites.
