1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, CAS: 244193-50-8

Key Applications:

1. Electrochemical Systems

• Serves as a non‑volatile electrolyte or electrolyte additive in supercapacitors and electrochemical double‑layer capacitors.
• Supports wide electrochemical windows suitable for high‑voltage devices.
• Used in electrodeposition studies for metals and semiconductors due to its stable ionic environment.

2. Catalysis and Reaction Media

• Functions as a tunable solvent for acid‑catalyzed, transition‑metal‑catalyzed, and biocatalytic reactions.
• Enables enhanced selectivity and rate control in biphasic catalytic systems.
• Provides a recyclable medium for green‑chemistry process development.

3. Separation Science

• Applied in liquid–liquid extraction of metal ions, aromatic compounds, and biomass‑derived molecules.
• Used in supported ionic liquid membranes for selective gas or solute transport.
• Offers hydrophobicity suitable for extracting nonpolar or moderately polar analytes.

4. Materials Processing

• Acts as a solvent or co‑solvent for polymer dissolution, modification, and ion‑conductive polymer synthesis.
• Used in nanoparticle synthesis, where ionic‑liquid structuring influences particle size and morphology.
• Supports templating and self‑assembly processes in advanced materials research.

5. Biomass and Renewable Feedstocks

• Serves as a medium for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment and dissolution.
• Facilitates fractionation of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin for downstream valorization.

6. Spectroscopy and Analytical Chemistry

• Provides a low‑volatility matrix for electrochemical and spectroscopic studies.
• Used as a stationary‑phase additive in chromatography to tune retention and selectivity.
