Temperature-responsive ionic liquids (ILs), their fundanmental behaviors, and catalytic
applications were introduced, especially the concepts of upper critical solution temperature …

Abstract Water-in-water (W/W) emulsions are colloidal dispersions of an aqueous solution
into another aqueous phase. Such dispersions can be formed in mixtures of at least two …

Living cells have evolved over billions of years to develop structural and functional
complexity with numerous intracellular compartments that are formed due to liquid–liquid …

The development of rapid, convenient, and high throughput sample preparation approaches
such as liquid phase microextraction techniques have been continuously developed over …

Population growth has led to an increased demand for raw minerals and energy resources;
however, their supply cannot easily be provided in the same proportions. Modern …

Microfluidic technology has attracted great interest across industry and academia. Its
engineering characteristics, through miniaturization, can enhance mass-and heat transfer …

The first instance of an acidic aqueous biphasic system (AcABS) based on tributyltetradecyl
phosphonium chloride ([P44414][Cl]) and an acid is here reported. This AcABS exhibits …

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is the fastest growing type of waste
globally and is an important challenge due to its heterogeneity, intrinsic toxicity and potential …

Among ionic liquids, phosphonium-based ionic liquids (PILs) are quite elegant. These
categories of ionic liquids represent some merits over other types of ionic liquids such as …

New methods of metal extraction from the “black mass”(BM) from spent lithium-ion batteries
have been presented with ionic liquids (ILs), Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) and …
