Outline of Final Research Achievements

There is a strong demand for establish of an efficient molecular separation method without energy consuming. In this study, we introduce nonvolatile liquids such as ionic liquids into nanospaces to adjust the effective pore size and the molecular separation properties.
We used Ionic liquids and paraffins as the nonvolatile substance, and mesoporous silicas as the adsorption medium. We established its synthesis method and characterizing adsorption properties and was confirmed that the effective pore size of the synthesized porous materials can be controlled, and it exhibits specific adsorption phenomenon for some organic molecules.
