RESUMO
Ionic liquid (IL)-based ion-gel membranes were prepared from a curable poly(IL)-based materials platform with the free ILs 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([EMIM][TFSI]), bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([EMIM][FSI]), 1-butylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C4 IMH][TFSI]), and ethylmethylammonium nitrate [EAN][NO3 ] and evaluated for their ionic conductivity performance at ambient and elevated temperatures. The resulting cross-linked, free-standing ion-gel membranes were found to have less than 1 wt% water (with the exception of [EAN][NO3 ] which contained ≈20 wt% water). Increasing free IL content from 50 to 80 wt% produces materials with ionic conductivity values ≥10(-2) S cm(-1) at 25 °C and ≈10(-1) S cm(-1) at 110 °C. Additionally, ion-gels containing 70 wt% of the protic ILs [C4 IMH][TFSI] and [EMIM][FSI] display ionic conductivity values of ≈10(-3) to 10(-2) S cm(-1) over the temperature range of 25-110 °C.

A metal-containing ionic liquid (MCIL) has been prepared in which the [Co(II)(salicylate)2](2-) anion is able to selectively coordinate two water molecules with a visible colour change, even in the presence of alcohols. Upon moderate heating or placement in vacuo, the hydrated MCIL undergoes reversible thermochromism by releasing the bound water molecules.

In this communication, we describe a novel and facile method for the immobilization of NAD(+)/NADH on an electrode surface using a hydrophobic ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C4mim][Tf(2)N]). By taking advantage of the insolubility of NAD(+)/NADH in hydrophobic ionic liquids, it is expected that NAD(+)/NADH can be retained on the electrode's surface. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and NAD(+)/NADH were immobilized with a gelatin hydrogel on an electrode that was modified with an electropolymerized ruthenium complex containing 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline (pAPRu) as a mediator for NADH oxidation. The (ADH, NAD(+))/pAPRu-immobilized electrode exhibited the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol in [C4mim][Tf(2)N]. The obtained catalytic current in [C4mim][Tf(2)N] was comparable to that in buffer solution containing NAD(+). It was confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy that NAD(+) did not dissolve in the [C4mim][Tf(2)N] and was retained on the electrode's surface. Furthermore, we succeeded in constructing an ethanol/O(2) biofuel cell comprised of an (ADH, NAD(+))/pAPRu anode and a bilirubin oxidase cathode using [C4mim][Tf(2)N] as an electrolyte.
