Ionic liquids mediated metal-organic frameworks Masahiro Hara 1,2 , Qilei Song 1 , Jason P. Hallett 1 1 Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London, London, SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom 2 Science and Innovation Center, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Yokohama, Kanagawa, 227-8502, Japan Ionic liquids (ILs) are defined as salts with melting points lower than 100 °C and possess various kinds of properties, which can be preferable to a wide range of application from energy storage to carbon capture [1] .Metal- organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely researched due to their high porosity and controllable pore size [2] , with promising use as adsorbents or membranes for industrial gas separation applications. Recently, research has been conducted to integrate ILs and MOFs using various methods such as ionothermal synthesis and impregnation method, in order to enhance the affinity toward carbon dioxide [3] . While synergistic effects between ILs and MOFs have been reported, a suitable integrating method can vary according to the type of IL and MOF, and this is still an open issue on synthesis of the IL/MOF composites to be researched. Here, we will discuss current concepts of the IL/MOF composites and possible strategies to leverage the advantages of both types of materials. References 1. T. Welton, Biophys.
