In recent years, the designer nature of ionic liquids (ILs) has driven their exploration and
exploitation in countless fields among the physical and chemical sciences. A fair measure of …

There are still debates on whether the hydration of ions perturbs the water structure, and
what is the degree of such disturbance; therefore, the origin of the Hofmeister effect on …

The tremendous potential of room temperature ionic liquids as an alternative to
environmentally harmful ordinary organic solvents is well recognized. Ionic liquids, having …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have evolved as a new type of non‐aqueous solvents for biocatalysis,
mainly due to their unique and tunable physical properties. A number of recent review …

In this Minireview, the state of the art in the use of ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic
solvents (DESs) as alternative reaction media for biocatalytic processes and biomass …

As environmentally benign “green” solvents, room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) have been
used as solvents or (co) solvents in biocatalytic reactions and processes for a decade. The …

This perspective reviews the current status and prospects of biocatalysis in ionic liquids.
Although they are not strictly speaking ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents are included …

The application of room‐temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as (co) solvents and/or reagents is
well documented. However, RTILS also have “nonsolvent” applications in …

Enzyme activity in nonaqueous media (eg conventional organic solvents) is typically lower
than in water by several orders of magnitude. There is a rising interest of developing new …

Ionic liquids as eco-friendly solvent media and catalyst play very important roles in many
enzymatic reactions such as enzymatic biotransformation and all kinds of biosynthesis due …
