Description : Imidazolium-based ILs is one of the most studied ionic liquid in the literature, and the number of published papers related to ILs have also been rising exponentially. Thus, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the characterisation analysis of imidazolium-based ILs. The characterisation of imidazolium-based ILs via spectrochemical methods (FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR, and UV-Vis), CHNSO elemental analysis, thermal stability analysis (TGA and DSC) and crystallinity analysis using XRD were thoroughly discussed herein. Moreover, this review also presents the cutting-edge-knowledge of different synthesis method of imidazolium-based ILs and its potential applications in polymer preparation.
