A comprehensive review on the rheological behavior of imidazolium based ionic liquids and natural deep eutectic solvents
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article Review)The rheological behavior of a fluid is an important property that has a distinct impact on its flow conduct, which influence viscosity dependent phenomena and applications such as pumping, mass transfer rates, and ... -
Deep eutectic solvents as alternative green solvents for the efficient desulfurization of liquid fuel: A comprehensive review
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article Review)Increase in the requirement of energy consumption has been followed by a consistent rise in sulfur emission with economic and health issues. Moreover, it considerably decreases the efficacy of developed emission control ... -
Direct electroreduction of indium and tin oxides in molten salts
( Electrochemical Society Inc. , 2014 , Article)Indium is a rare metal. The largest end use for indium is in thinfilm coatings as indium oxide combined with 10 percent tin oxide (ITO). However, indium has recycling rates less than 1%. Indium and tin are especially well ... -
Efficient extraction of lipids from microalgal biomass for the production of biofuels using low-cost protic ionic solvents
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)The valorization of lipids available in microalgal biomass supports the indispensable transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems such as biofuels. Ionic liquids have been long investigated for the effective ... -
Electrodeposition of liquid metals from molten salts
( Electrochemical Society Inc. , 2014 , Conference Paper)Many important metals are being produced by electrolysis in molten salts (aluminium, sodium, rare earths and other reactive metals). Also industrial electrorefining of aluminium takes place in a molten salt electrolyte. ... -
Impact of ionic liquids on the processing and photo-actuation behavior of SBR composites containing graphene nanoplatelets
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The effects of butylpyridinium bromide-based ionic liquids (ILs) on the vulcanization kinetics, mechanical properties and photo-actuation ability of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites filled with graphene nanoplatelets ... -

Intercalation of ionic liquids into bentonite: Swelling and rheological behaviors
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)In this study, direct intercalation of three different green ionic liquids (ILs) having different salt and cation sizes into bentonite interlayer is investigated. The ILs covered in this study are: 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ... -
Ionic liquids application for wastewater treatment and biofuel production: A mini review
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article Review)Commonly described as ionic compounds that are fluid below 100 C, Ionic Liquids (ILs) have found its application in several fields of science and engineering. Formerly limited in its use for electrochemical purposes, ILs ... -
Reduced graphene oxide filled poly(dimethyl siloxane) based transparent stretchable, and touch-responsive sensors
( American Institute of Physics Inc. , 2016 , Article)The ongoing revolution in touch panel technology and electronics demands the need for thin films, which are flexible, stretchable, conductive, and highly touch responsive. In this regard, conductive elastomer nanocomposites ... -
Toxicity evaluation of selected ionic liquid compounds on embryonic development of Zebrafish.
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)Hydrate formation in seafloor pipelines is considered an economic and flow assurance issue for the oil and gas industries. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently used as potential hydrate inhibitors. Although branded as ...
