Development of POM-ILs for membrane reactor structure functionalization

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This work develops lacunary POM-ILs synthesized via ion exchange using quaternary ammonium and phosphonium cations. These materials enable enzyme immobilization through coordination to substituted metal centers and efficiently trap and embed microplastic particles on their surfaces. Additionally, they exhibit strong antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity, making them promising candidates for functionalizing membrane reactors in advanced water purification.
