Immobilization of molecules based ionic liquids. A promising approach to improve elecrocatalysts performance towards hydrogen evolution reaction
Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have received continuous attention owing to their unique chemical and physical properties and to their successful integration in several applications. More recently, the ILs moved from their limited use as solvent to their immobilization onto surfaces providing new properties to the interface. The flexible design of these new families allows to transfer some of their properties to the substrate. The aim of this review is therefore to summarize the recent achievement in the immobilization of ionic liquid based molecules and to illustrate their potential use to improve the electrocatalytic activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).
