New Directions in Using Ionic Liquids in Analytical Chemistry. 2: Electrochemical Methods

Abstract

The second, final part of the review. The use of ionic liquids in voltammetry and amperometry as organic electrolytes for carrying out electrochemical processes, extraction, and voltammetric analysis and for the development of composite materials and the creation of electrochemical sensors is discussed. The most important use of ionic liquids for modifying electrode membranes is considered: as an inert matrices allowing the immobilization of ionophore components and also as ionophore components of membranes of liquid-based and solid-state ion-selective electrodes.
