Used as an ionic liquid in green chemistry applications, particularly as a non-volatile, thermally stable solvent in catalytic reactions and organic synthesis. Its unique polarity and solvation properties make it suitable for biphasic reaction systems, where it facilitates easy separation of products. Commonly employed in microwave-assisted reactions, phase-transfer catalysis, and as a medium for polymerization processes.

Also investigated for use in electrochemical applications such as batteries, capacitors, fuel cells, and sensors due to its ionic conductivity and wide electrochemical window.

Additionally, applied in extraction processes for separation of aromatic compounds, metal ions, biomolecules, and organic substances from environmental samples, reducing the use of hazardous organic solvents.

Suitable for nanomaterials synthesis, such as controlled size and shape nanoparticle production, providing particle stability and preventing aggregation.
