1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride Key Applications
1. Electrochemical Research & Energy Storage
EMIM Cl serves as a foundational material for synthesizing advanced electrolytes, such as EMIM Cl/BF₄ molten salts, critical for zinc-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Its high ionic conductivity and thermal stability enable ultra-long battery lifespans, aligning with global demands for renewable energy solutions.
2. Sustainable Biomass Processing
In lignin depolymerization and xylan hydrolysis, EMIM Cl acts as both solvent and catalyst. Studies highlight its efficiency in breaking down oak lignin and converting hemicellulose to xylose—key steps in biofuel and bioplastic production.
3. Organic Synthesis & Catalysis
As a Lewis acid catalyst, EMIM Cl accelerates asymmetric hydrogenation and B–H bond insertion reactions, essential for synthesizing pharmaceuticals like (S)-Duloxetine. Its low volatility and recyclability reduce environmental impact.
4. CO₂ Capture & Membrane Technology
EMIM Cl-based composites, such as BMIMBF₄/ZnO membranes, demonstrate enhanced CO₂ separation efficiency. These innovations address industrial needs for sustainable carbon capture systems, achieving selectivities up to 28.2 for CO₂/N₂ separation.
