Abstract

Ionic Liquids are new emerging monomers or polymer molecules work as green materials and are best known for various applications in material sciences. Suitable ILs are designed with explicit features to perform specific functions. That can be used in electrochemical applications such as electrolytes, solvents in Lithium-ion batteries, solvents in fuel cells superconductors and solar cells. In this article we are focussing on synthesis of some interesting and widely used ionic liquids. The synthetic applicability of these smart green materials is pawed ways in organic synthesis. They can behave as an excellent solvent as well as catalyst for such transformations. Here we are highlighting the synthesis of green designer materials which is based on selection of specific cation and anions for ILs that perform specific function and possess certain specific desirable properties.
