Dramatically enhanced activity and excellent thermal stability of horseradish peroxidase were obtained by immobilizing it in a 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate room-temperature ionic liquid based sol-gel matrix.

Infection of a wound is one the most important reasons delaying recovery an injured tissue. In this study, chitosan-based hydrogels were loaded with different concentrations sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaBF4) to fabricate antimicrobial care system. Antimicrobial activity, and cytotoxicity NaBF4, surface morphology, chemical bond structures activity Chitosan:NaBF4 against broad spectrum microorgan...

Access to perfluorinated compounds represents a growing challenge in the academic and industrial fields achieve target with specific physico-chemical properties. Especially, insertion of chain within an ionic liquid can provide improvements not just terms hydrophobicity lipophobicity, but also viscosity, density as well thermal stability. In this research area, we have recently developed new ac...

A micro-sheet anatase TiO(2) single crystal photocatalyst with a remarkable 80% level of reactive {001} facets was synthesized via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal route involving titanium tetrafluoride and a tetrafluoroborate-based ionic liquid.

Fluorescence emission of the cationic form of fluorescein is observed from dilute aqueous acidic solutions in the presence of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate which is otherwise observed only from aqueous solutions of very high acidity.
