Abstract

Ionic liquids due to widespread applications in various fields of science, such as physics, chemistry, and engineering, have been an emerging topic in the field of research in the last few decades. Ionic liquids are mainly used as electrolytes, solvents, and functional materials. Thermal stability, solubility, and liquid nature at a wide temperature range are characteristics of ionic liquids. Researches over the last decades have experienced the use of ionic liquid-based nanomaterial composites since ionic liquids are more stable and more useful with nanoconfined materials. The present review paper describes in detail the physical and chemical properties of ionic liquids as well as their various applications as lubricants.
