Summary: The study revealed that in the mixed system of different mole fractions of mixed antidepressant drugs and ionic liquid, the CMC values in the AMT/IL system were lower than those in the IMP/IL system, indicating a more favorable formation of mixed micelles in the presence of AMT. Interaction parameters suggested synergistic effects in mixed systems, while activity coefficients less than unity implied non-ideal mixing. Furthermore, the excess free energy of micellization values confirmed the spontaneity and increased stability of the mixed micelles compared to individual micelles.

Summary: A series of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with varying side alkyl chain length were synthesized and their aggregation behavior in the presence of an amino acid was investigated. The addition of the amino acid was found to reduce the critical micelle concentration of the ionic liquids, and increasing the side chain length increased the surface activity.

Summary: The thermophilic fungal laccase from Myceliophthora thermophila retains high levels of activity in a specific ionic liquid, making it a desirable catalyst for lignin valorization. However, other ionic liquids severely inhibit the enzyme activity. Modifications to the enzyme surface charges do not significantly improve the inhibition caused by the ionic liquid.

Summary: Liquid and ionic transport through nanometric structures can be achieved by forming a molecularly thin liquid film onto fully wettable substrates. Results show that near the silica surface, hindered transport exists in a one-molecule thick layer, while above this layer, conventional bulk-like approaches can explain the experimental results.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction mechanism between AHTN and HSA, revealing that the binding between AHTN and HSA is a moderate strength spontaneous process driven by hydrophobic forces. AHTN acts as a competitive inhibitor to weaken the esterase-like activity of HSA, potentially impairing the function of HSA.

Summary: The changing self-assembled nanostructures of catanionic surface-active ionic liquid (SAILs) with unsaturated heterocycles were investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that SAILs with unsaturated heterocycles exhibited unique charging processes and different performances for energy storage due to their different cation nanostructures near negative electrodes. The unsaturated heterocycles have a high tendency to align parallel to the electrode plate, increasing the Coulombic interaction and bringing additional cations closer to the electrode, leading to a higher energy density.

Summary: A nonhalogenated surface-active ionic liquid (SAIL) was explored as an electrolyte for a supercapacitor, demonstrating high electrochemical performance at elevated temperatures. The SAIL-based electrolytes showed decreasing resistance with increasing temperature, and the supercapacitor with SAIL as the electrolyte exhibited superior specific capacitance, energy density, and power density compared to a binary mixture of SAIL with acetonitrile and a 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte, particularly at high temperatures.

Summary: The application of ionic liquids (ILs) in extracting and separating n-butanol from octane was investigated. Surface charge density distributions, activity coefficients, distribution coefficients, and separation coefficients were calculated to understand the extraction mechanism of ILs. Molecular-scale analysis of intermolecular interactions provided insights into the separation mechanism of ILs.

Summary: In the study of ion transport mechanisms in poly(ethyl vinyl imidazolium) with different anions, it was found that BF4- and PF6- had more hopping events, while higher temperature promoted interchain hopping. Tf2N- exhibited a unique curve shape in the self-part of the van Hove function and had a shorter length of stringlike motion compared to other anions.

Summary: This study investigated the separation mechanism of ionic liquids in the n-heptane-t-butanol mixture through molecular dynamics simulation, revealing that electrostatic energy and [OTF]- played key roles in the extraction process. The research showed that with the continuous growth of carbon chain, the extraction ability of ionic liquid was enhanced, but the solubility of raffinate was also increased.

Summary: This study employs computational molecular methods to investigate the interactions between gas species and ionogel membranes. By calculating parameters such as solvation free energy and radial distribution functions, the key factors contributing to the high solubility of propylene in IL electrolyte are revealed. The findings are expected to provide guidance for designing new membranes for olefin/paraffin separation.

Summary: This contribution elucidates the importance of non-covalent interactions, particularly hydrogen bonds and other short-contact interactions, on the conformational preferences of mono and dihalo-salicylic acid derivatives. The modulation of pi-aromaticity in the studied systems in the presence of these interactions is confirmed using the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) descriptor.

Summary: Thin film coatings with potent antibacterial properties are widely used in medical devices, frequently touched surfaces, and food packaging. However, achieving antibacterial performance under both light and dark conditions remains a challenge. In this study, we successfully prepared AgBr-coated ZnO nanorod thin film architecture using a unique surfactant-mediated solution-phase spin-coating approach. The resulting structures showed dual functionality as antimicrobial agents and photosensitizers, effectively enhancing the visible-light photodisinfection efficacy of ZnO nanorods. The concentration of the surfactant-based precursor solution could be modulated to control the AgBr content. Additionally, components like urea and lactic acid were found to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of the structures.
