Abstract
Isomerization is extensively utilized in the petroleum industry, and this study demonstrates an energy-efficient process utilizing an ionic liquid catalyst. 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate [Emim][TFO] as an ionic liquid was immobilized on solid support Fe/SBA-15. Variants of the catalyst were developed with the Fe constant at 5% and different ratios of ionic liquid. In the catalyst Fe/[Emim][TFO]/SBA-15, the metal Fe was loaded via the impregnation method, and subsequently, the ionic liquid variants Fe/[Emim][TFO](10)/SBA-15, Fe/[Emim][TFO](20)/SBA-15, and Fe/[Emim][TFO](30)/SBA-15 were synthesized. The physical properties of the synthesized catalyst were studied using standard characteristic techniques. The process performance was studied for variants of each parameter, which include temperature, hydrogen flow rate, pressure, and weight hourly space velocity. The iso-products of n-heptane and n-octane were obtained with an appreciable conversion of >90% and a selectivity of >95% with the catalyst Fe/[Emim][TFO](20)/SBA-15 among the other synthesized catalysts. The process yielded a high quantum of iso-products with negligible cracked products at a low temperature of 140 °C. The catalyst Fe/[Emim][TFO](20)/SBA-15 at 140 °C delivered the highest yield of iso-alkanes among the three catalysts. Iso-alkanes are instrumental tools for increasing the octane number of a fuel. This study delivers high iso-alkane content fuel, which can provide the best anti knock capability and enhance fuel efficiency for the life of modern high-powered engines. The results demonstrate a process that is energy-efficient, economic, and environmentally friendly.

Abstract
The advancement of wearable electronics, particularly self-powered wearable electronic devices, necessitates the development of efficient energy conversion technologies with flexible mechanical properties. Recently, ionic thermoelectric (TE) materials have attracted great attention because of their enormous thermopower, which can operate capacitors or supercapacitors by harvesting low-grade heat. This study presents self-healable, stretchable, and flexible ionic TE composites comprising an ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (EMIM:OTf); a polymer matrix, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP); and a fluoro-surfactant (FS). The self-healability of the IL-based composites originates from dynamic ion-dipole interactions between the IL, the PVDF-HFP, and the FS. The composites demonstrate excellent ionic TE properties with an ionic Seebeck coefficient (Si ) of ≈38.3 mV K-1 and an ionic figure of merit of ZTi = 2.34 at 90% relative humidity, which are higher than the values reported for other IL-based TE materials. The IL-based ionic TE composites developed in this study can maintain excellent ionic TE properties under harsh conditions, including severe strain (75%) and multiple cutting-healing cycles.

Abstract
Two types of poly(5-phenyl-2-norbornene) were synthesized via ring opening metathesis and addition polymerization. The polymers sulfonation reaction under homogeneous conditions resulted in ionomer with high sulfonation degree up to 79% (IEC 3.36 meq/g). The prepared ionomer was characterized by DSC, GPC, 1H NMR and FT-IR. Polymers for electromechanical applications soluble in common polar organic solvents were obtained by replacing proton of sulfonic group with imidazolium and 1-methylimidazlium. Membranes were prepared using the above-mentioned polymers and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMImBF4), as well as mixtures with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Mechanical, morphological, and conductive properties of the membranes were examined by tensile testing, SEM, and impedance spectroscopy, respectively. Dry and air-stable actuators with electrodes based on SWCNT were fabricated via hot-pressing. Actuators with membranes based on methylimidazolium containing ionomers outperformed classical bucky gel actuator and demonstrated high strain (up to 1.14%) and generated stress (up to 1.21 MPa) under low voltage of 2 V.

Abstract
The development of waterproof ionogels with high stretchability and fast self-healing performance is essential for stretchable ionic conductors in sophisticated skin-inspired wearable sensors but can be rarely met in one material. Herein, a semicrystalline fluorinated copolymer ionogel (SFCI) with extremely high stretchability, underwater stability, and fast self-healability was fabricated, among which hydrophobic ionic liquids ([BMIM][TFSI]) were selectively enriched in fluoroacrylate segment domains of the fluorinated copolymer matrix through unique ion-dipole interactions. Benefiting from the reversible ion-dipole interactions between the [BMIM][TFSI] and fluoroacrylate segment domains as well as the physical cross-linking effects of semicrystalline oligoethylene glycol domains, the SFCI exhibited ultrastretchability (>6000%), fast room-temperature self-healability (>96% healing efficiency after cutting and self-healing for 30 min), and outstanding elasticity. In addition, the representative SFCI also exhibited high-temperature tolerance up to 300 °C, antifreezing performance as low as -35 °C, and high transparency (>93% visible-light transmittance). As a result, the as-obtained SFCI can readily be used as a highly stretchable ionic conductor in skin-inspired wearable sensors with waterproof performance for real-time detecting physiological human activities. These attractive features illustrate that the developed ultrastretchable and rapidly self-healable ionogels with unique waterproofness are promising candidates especially for sophisticated wearable strain sensing applications in complex and extreme environments.

Abstract
Film deposition and high-resolution patterning of ionic liquids (ILs) remain a challenge, despite a broad range of applications that would benefit from this type of processing. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of ILs. The IL-CVD method is based on the formation of a non-volatile IL through the reaction of two vaporized precursors. Ionogel micropatterns can be easily obtained via the combination of IL-CVD and standard photolithography, and the resulting microdrop arrays can be used as microreactors. The IL-CVD approach will facilitate leveraging the properties of ILs in a range of applications and microfabricated devices.

Abstract
Finding proper candidates for polymer-supported ionic liquid (IL)-based gas separating membranes is a challenge. The current article elucidates the quantum chemical perspective of the selective gas adsorption efficiency, from a mixture of CO2, CO, CH4, and H2, of α- and β-polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-supported imidazolium- and pyridinium-based six ionic liquid membranes. Although IL-based membrane efficiency mainly depends on the gas solubility of ILs, IL/support binding and gas adsorption on the support material are also studied to describe the overall gas adsorption properties of the PVDF/IL complexes. β-PVDF exhibits better binding with the ILs, and better gas affinity, thus, qualified as a more suitable membrane component as compared to α-PVDF. Dispersion-corrected density functional calculations are performed to provide a detailed insight into the energetic interactions, nonbonding intermolecular interactions based on symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT), natural bond orbitals (NBO), Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), reduced density gradient (RDG), frontier orbital interactions, density of states (DOS), and thermochemical analyses of the gas-adsorbed systems. Gas molecules interact with the membrane components through weak hydrogen bonds and exhibit low interaction energies, indicating physisorption of the gases. Gas adsorption energies are more negative than the mutual interaction energies of the gas molecules, ensuring effective gas adsorption by the membrane components. All the β-PVDF/IL systems have shown the highest and lowest affinity for CO2 and H2, respectively, leading to effective separation of CO2 and H2 from the other gases.

Abstract
The application of molecular switches for the fabrication of multistimuli-responsive chromic materials and devices still remains a challenge because of the restrictions imposed by the supporting solid matrices where these compounds must be incorporated: they often critically affect the chromic response as well as limit the type and nature of external stimuli that can be applied. In this work, we propose the use of ionogels to overcome these constraints, as they provide a soft, fluidic, transparent, thermally stable, and ionic-conductive environment where molecular switches preserve their solution-like properties and can be exposed to a number of different stimuli. By exploiting this strategy, we herein pioneer the preparation of nitrospiropyran-based materials using a single solid platform that exhibit optimal photo-, halo-, thermo-, and electrochromic switching behaviors.

Abstract
A stretchable transparent double network ionogel composed of physically cross-linked poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF-co-HFP)) and chemically cross-linked poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butylmethacrylate) (P(MMA-co-BMA)) elastomer networks within [EMIM][TFSI] ionic liquid was fabricated through a facile one-pot thermal polymerization. The dual-network (DN) ionogel presents good mechanical performance (failure tensile stress 2.31 MPa, strain 307%) with a high loading of ionic liquid (70 wt %) for achieving required ionic conductivity (>0.1 S/m at room temperature). The transparent chemical cross-linked P(MMA-co-BMA) elastomer network endows high transparency (>93%) and high stretchability to the DN ionogel. The DN ionogel maintains good toughness, elasticity, and transparency in a wide temperature range (-40 to 80 °C) for the application in a harsh environment. In addition, the sensitivity of the DN ionogel to the change of environment temperature and deformation was detected and described. The practical potential of the DN ionogel in flexible electronic devices is further revealed by fabricating DN ionogel strain sensors to detect the movement of different human limbs including the bending of the finger, wrist, and elbow as well as the slight throat jitter during the swallowing and vocalization, showing fast response, high sensitivity, and good repeatability.

Abstract
The microporous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were prepared by the solvent evaporation method using 50 wt.% of different pore-forming additives: poly(1-ethyl-3-vinylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) (PIL-BF4), polyethylene glycol 3000 (PEG-3K) and 40000 (PEG-40K), dibutyl phthalate (DBP). The influence of used additive on morphology, porosity, degree of crystallinity, tensile properties, electrolyte uptake and ionic conductivity of the membranes were investigated. The maximum electrolyte uptake of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMImBF4) was 184 wt.% for the membrane prepared with PEG-40K, however, the membrane was fragile and unsuitable for practical use. The remaining membranes showed approximately the same porosity (45‒48%) and electrolyte uptakes (169‒175%). At the same time, the membranes significantly differed in mechanical properties and ionic conductivity. The membrane prepared with PIL-BF4, unlike others, has a sponge-like structure and demonstrated high mechanical properties, namely tensile strength is 17.7 MPa and fracture strain is 132.5%. Bucky gel actuators were fabricated using membranes prepared with different additives. The blocking force of the actuators based on membranes with different additives decreased in the sequence of PIL-BF4, DBP and PEG. The actuator based on the membrane prepared with PIL-BF4 demonstrates a blocking force of 5.7 mN and a deformation of 1.35 % at 3 V DC.
