Ionic liquid–polymer gel catalytic membrane

Abstract

A novel catalytic membrane for heterogeneous hydrogenation is fabricated by incorporating palladium into a gas-permeable ionic liquid–polymer gel composed of 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and poly(vinylidene fluoride)–hexafluoropropylene copolymer.
