Abstract

Put it in reverse: The recycling of ionic liquids (ILs) by distillation of the regenerated volatile precursors was demonstrated to be feasible by using low-cost amide-cation-derived aprotic ionic liquids prepared from reversible Oalkylation. The low viscosity (21.6cP at 25°C), high conductivity (15.45mS cm -1 at 25°C), and wide electrochemical windows (ca. 4.5V) of the ILs show potential for electrochemical applications.
