Thermoresponsive ionogels

Abstract

This paper explores the innovative realm of thermoresponsive ionogels, which leverage the unique properties of ionic liquids, such as high ionic conductivity, robust stability, and minimal volatility. Distinguished from traditional hydrogels and organogels, ionogels overcome common limitations by incorporating an ionic liquid phase, thus broadening their application spectrum. The paper delves into the Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) and Upper Critical Solution Temperature (UCST) types of thermoresponsive polymer and ionic liquid, examining the principle of phase separation. It offers a comprehensive review of the evolution of thermoresponsive ionogels, from their initial discovery to recent advancements, and provides insights into future developments in this field.
