报告名称：Electro-functional Ionic liquids. Design, synthesis and applications.

地点：冶金学馆 313 #
报告简介：
Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic/inorganic molten salts that exhibit many unique and favourable physical properties including non-volatility, inherent conductivity, chemical robustness and tuneability of their density, hydrophobicity and solvent strength. To take further advantage IL properties the deliberate incorporation of specific chemical functionality into their structure extends their potential usefulness as “task-specific” ILs; for example, mercury-capturing ILs are already used in the petroleum industry and successful carbon capture with amine-functionalised ILs had been reported extensively.
Incorporating electro-functionality into ILs facilitates their IL application in a host of redox- / electro-chemical and devices. For example, incorporating the ferrocene moiety in IL structure (Figure 1) creates ILs that can communicate directly with redox enzymes are therefore bio-electrocatalytic.
Since molecular electrochemistry is a very well-developed field an array of potentially useful functionalities is available for incorporation into IL structure. These include, quinones, n-oxyl radicals, organometallics and metal complexes. This presentation will outline the work to date, discuss the design principles and challenges and speculate on their potential applications from implantable bio-fuel cells to energy harvesting and storage.
