1-Ethyl-3-propylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, CAS: 1434759-73-5

Key Applications:

Electrochemical Systems

• Serves as a stable, non‑volatile electrolyte component for supercapacitors and advanced batteries.
• Enhances ionic conductivity in mixed‑solvent and solvent‑free electrolyte formulations.
• Useful in electrodeposition baths for controlled metal plating, particularly where smooth, uniform films are required.

Catalysis and Organic Synthesis

• Functions as a tunable reaction medium for transition‑metal‑catalyzed transformations, including cross‑coupling and hydrogenation.
• Supports acid‑catalyzed and base‑sensitive reactions due to the weakly coordinating BF₄⁻ anion.
• Enables improved selectivity and yield in biphasic and solvent‑free synthetic processes.

Separation Science

• Applied in liquid–liquid extraction systems for selective partitioning of aromatic, polar, or metal‑containing species.
• Useful in supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) for gas separation and purification.
• Provides enhanced solvation for polar organics, facilitating chromatographic method development.

Materials and Polymer Science

• Acts as a plasticizing ionic additive in polymer electrolytes and ion‑conducting films.
• Supports the preparation of ionogels with stable mechanical and conductive properties.
• Used in templating and nanostructuring processes for advanced materials.

Thermal and Process Engineering

• Suitable as a heat‑transfer medium or thermal stabilizer in moderate‑temperature systems due to its low vapor pressure and thermal robustness.
• Employed in solvent replacement strategies to reduce VOC emissions in industrial processes.

Analytical Chemistry

• Provides a high‑conductivity medium for electroanalytical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy.
• Useful as a solvation environment for studying ion–molecule interactions and reaction kinetics.
