Titanium oxynitride and molybdenum oxynitride assembled in the pores of mesoporous materials were achieved by nitriding titania-modified MCM-41 and molybdena-modified MCM-41 at 800°C for 3 hours under flowing NH3 atmosphere. XRD, XPS and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms were employed to characterize the structure of the composite materials. The results showed that the nanosized TiOxNy and MoOxNy particles were assembled in mesoporous silica MCM-41 with the restrict mesopores. The hexagonal periodicity of the parent MCM-41 materials was maintained upon assembly at the provided nitridation temperature. The exact formation was TiO0.4N0.8 in MCM-TiOxNy, and MoO1.7N0.57 in MCM-MoOxNy, which were calculated from the data in XPS spectra of Ti 2p and Mo 3d.

We report on the impact of changes in the protic ionic liquid (pIL) cation on the fibrilisation kinetics and the conversion of the Aβ 16–22 from monomers to amyloid fibrils. When we compare the use of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines we find that the primary amine results in the greatest conversion into amyloid fibrils. We show that the pIL is directly interacting with the peptide and this likely drives the difference in conversion and kinetics observed.

The role of the electrode material on the interfacial double layer structure of a series of ionic liquids comprising 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (C4MIM][PF6]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C4MIM][Tf2N]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C4MIM][BF4]) was investigated on gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) electrodes.

Bioethanol is produced by the fermentation of different raw materials; anhydrous ethanol is used as biofuel. This article reports the study of the dehydration of bioethanol by breaking the azeotrope, using ionic liquids as entrainers. Three ionic liquids (LIs) [EMIM][Cl], [EMIM][OAc], and [BMIM][Cl] were tested as entrainers; the behavior of ternary mixes of bioethanol-water-LI were evaluated through the activity coefficients and the relative volatility of bioethanol at 80°C and atmospheric pressure. In this first study it was concluded that the [EMIM][Cl] was the most effective IL for dehydration purposes: bioethanol (93.45 % v/v) after three cycles of extraction was (99.20 % v/v) when a mass ratio bioethanol-IL of 0.55 was used. Based on the first study, a composite was prepared by anchoring the LI 1-ethyl-(3-trimethoxysilil) propyl imidazolium chloride to mesoporous SiO2. The composite was characterized and it has been confirmed that there is a covalent bond between the IL and the matrix. The material was tested as dehydrating agent; results of these two studies were compared and showed that the pure ionic liquids could be used as entrainers in extractive distillations, breaking water-ethanol azeotrope, also showing the same ionic liquids able to be anchored to matrices as solid composites for dehydration, offering additional advantages such as selectivity, less time consuming, recyclability, and significantly diminishes (84%), the requirement for the amount of the IL.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been applied in several fields in which enzymes and proteins play a noteworthy role, for instance in biorefinery, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sciences, among others. Despite their use as solvents and co-solvents, their combination with materials for protein- and enzyme-based applications has raised significant attention in the past few years. Among them, significant advances were brought by supported ionic liquids (SILs), in which ILs are introduced to modify the surface and properties of materials, e.g., as ligands when covalently bond or when physiosorbed. SILs have been mainly investigated as alternative supports for enzymes in biocatalysis and as new supports in preparative liquid chromatography for the purification of high-value proteins and enzymes. In this manuscript, we provide an overview on the most relevant advances by using SILs as supports for enzymes and as purification platforms for a variety of proteins and enzymes. The interaction mechanisms occurring between proteins and SILs/ILs are highlighted, allowing the design of efficient processes involving SILs. The work developed is discussed in light of the respective development phase and innovation level of the applied technologies. Advantages and disadvantages are identified, as well as the missing links to pave their use in relevant applications.
