离子液晶是近二十年来出现的一类新型功能软材料，它具有离子液体和液晶的协同特性，如宏观取向性、与不同物种的相容性、相稳定性、纳米结构可调性和极性纳米通道的形成等。由于这些特性，离子液晶的结构、性质和功能一直是材料化学中的热门话题，发现了各种应用，包括用于客体结合的主体框架、分离膜、离子/质子传导膜、反应介质和光电材料。虽然最近发表了几篇关于离子液晶的优秀综述文章，但它们主要集中在离子液晶的基本方面、结构和特定性质，而离子液晶的这些应用尚未一次性讨论。这篇专题文章的目的是以一种全面的方式概述离子液晶的应用。
Ionic liquid crystals have emerged as a new class of functional soft materials in the last two decades, and they exhibit synergistic characteristics of ionic liquids and liquid crystals such as macroscopic orientability, miscibility with various species, phase stability, nanostructural tunability, and polar nanochannel formation. Owing to these characteristics, the structures, properties, and functions of ionic liquid crystals have been a hot topic in materials chemistry, finding various applications including host frameworks for guest binding, separation membranes, ion-/proton-conducting membranes, reaction media, and optoelectronic materials. Although several excellent review articles of ionic liquid crystals have been published recently, they mainly focused on the fundamental aspects, structures, and specific properties of ionic liquid crystals, while these applications of ionic liquid crystals have not yet been discussed at one time. The aim of this feature article is to provide an overview of the applications of ionic liquid crystals in a comprehensive manner.
