Properties and Recent Advantages of N,N’-dialkylimidazolium-ion Liquids Application in Electrochemistry

N,N’-dialkylimidazolium-ion liquids are one of the important ionic liquids with a wide range of applications as a conductive electrolyte and in electrochemistry. The modified electrodes create a new view for the fabrication of electroanalytical sensors. Many modifiers have been suggested for modification of electroanalytical sensors since many years ago. Over these years, ionic liquids and especially room temperature ionic liquids have attracted more attention due to their wide range of electrochemical windows and high electrical conductivity. N,N’-dialkylimidazoliumion liquids are the main ionic liquids that have been suggested to modify bare electrodes and especially carbon paste electrodes. Although many review articles have reported on the use of ionic liquids in electrochemical sensors, no review article has specifically introduced so far the advantages of N,N’-dialkylimidazolium ionic liquids. Therefore, in this review paper, we focused on the introduction of recent advantages of N,N’-dialkyl imidazolium ionic liquids in electrochemistry
