Due to the interesting properties of polymerized ionic liquids (PILs), studies are carried out to evaluate its performance when in composite with other synthetic polymers. Research on blend films prepared through solution casting are typically done to investigate their properties, however, electrospun fibers are of particular interest especially on technologies requiring mechanically robust and high surface area functional materials. In this work, poly (vinylidene fluoride)/poly (ionic liquid) (PVdF/PIL) nanofibers were produced through electrospinning. The PIL, poly (1-hexyl-3-vinyl imidazolium bromide), was synthesized through sonochemical solventless reaction followed by free radical polymerization. The structures of the synthesized IL and PIL were confirmed using FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Pseudocapacitor prototypes consisting of electrodeposited ZnO-based electrodes and the electrospun PVdF/PIL nanofibers as the polymer electrolyte were then fabricated at varied PIL concentrations. Contact angle measurements using sessile drop method revealed the decreasing wettability of the fibers attributed to the inherent hydrophobic nature of both the PVdF and PIL. Scanning electron micrographs also showed that increasing fiber diameters were obtained as the PIL concentration increases. In addition, cyclic voltammetry results showed that the calculated areal capacitance also increases with increasing PIL concentration. The development of pseudocapacitor assemblies utilizing ZnO-based electrodes and electrospun polymer electrolyte-separator membranes presents a better promise for the next-generation energy storage devices.

Based on the selective adsorption property of the imidazolium-type hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquid (hb-PIm+PF6-) towards anionic dyes, it was incorporated into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix to modify PVDF film. The composite hb-PIm+PF6-/PVDF films were prepared via non-solvent-induced phase inversion method. The obtained composite films were characterized by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and contact angle goniometry. Using bromophenol blue (BPB, an acidic dye) as the model molecule, the dynamic and static adsorption properties of the hb-PIm+PF6-/PVDF films were investigated, respectively. It is significant that the hb-PIm+PF6-/PVDF composite films could efficiently remove BPB from water under dynamic condition.
