Ionic liquids (ILs) are defined as organic compounds consisting entirely of ions and are characterized by melting points below 100 °C, with many of them being liquid at room temperature (RTILs). ILs feature often unique property profiles, such as viscosity, density, solubility, conductivity or high thermal and chemical stability, just to name the most important ones, which can be tuned to a specific application by the right combination of cation and anion. With these versatile properties they have a major impact on many promising applications. In this context, our focus is on CO2 capture.
