Used as an ionic liquid in electrochemical applications due to high thermal stability and low volatility. Commonly employed as a solvent in organic synthesis, especially in reactions requiring non-aqueous polar environments. Facilitates carbon dioxide capture and storage processes owing to its gas solubility properties. Applied in lithium-ion batteries as a component of electrolytes to improve conductivity and safety. Also utilized in catalysis and separation processes where strong solvating ability and chemical inertness are required.
