What are the Challenges in Using Ionic Liquids for Catalysis?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges associated with using ILs in catalysis:
Cost: The high cost of many ILs can be prohibitive for large-scale applications. Toxicity: Some ILs are toxic, which limits their use in certain applications. Purity: The presence of impurities can affect the performance of ILs in catalytic reactions. Separation: Separating ILs from reaction products can be challenging.
