Problems solved by technology

However, the synthesis process of ionic liquids is complicated, the exchange reaction is not complete, there are competing reactions and by-products, and the obtained products need to be purified and separated in multiple steps, which significantly increases the production cost of ionic liquids and the possibility of environmental pollution, and reduces the ionic liquid. green character of the liquid
However, the water content in the final ionic liquid product cannot be guaranteed, which seriously affects the process of preparing active metal terbium films by electrodeposition of ionic liquids.
On the other hand, conventional ionic liquids have a narrow electrochemical window and limited solubility for general chlorides (such as magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, rare earth chloride, etc.), and some common ionic liquids have high viscosity and are easy to absorb water in the air, so they are very large The practical application of ionic liquids is limited to a certain extent
Therefore, at present, the development of ionic liquids has a history of one hundred years, but it is limited to scientific research in the field of metal electrodeposition, and there is no large-scale practical application background
