This Themed Collection welcomes contributions to recent advances in sustainable liquid technologies, with a particular emphasis on green synthesis strategies, facile fabrication techniques, advanced characterization methods, computational modeling, theoretical frameworks, fundamental structure-function investigations, and cutting-edge applications in separation, catalysis, energy storage, and beyond.

About this call

Sustainable liquid media plays a crucial role in separation, catalysis, energy storage, and beyond, particularly compositions that are biodegradable, non-toxic, renewable, and non-volatile. Ionic liquids (ILs), deep eutectic solvents (DESs), water, supercritical fluids, and bio-based solvents remain at the forefront of green chemistry, demonstrating transformative properties across diverse applications. Beyond their conventional use as single-phase liquid media, recent research has explored innovative strategies to integrate these solvents with other material categories, unlocking new functionalities. A cutting-edge development in this field is the successful engineering of permanent porosities into dense liquid phases forming so-called 鈥減orous liquids鈥�, based on ILs, water, and bio-based solvents, enhancing their efficiency in separation and catalysis. In gas storage, the structural design of controllable liquid molecular assemblies has enabled cascade gas trapping in liquid sorbents, significantly outperforming single-component liquid media.
