Abstract

This chapter mainly focuses on recent research progress in photofunctional rare earth materials based on ionic liquids, with an emphasis on the photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials using ionic liquid compounds as both double functional linkers and matrices. It covers photofunctional rare earth compounds with ionic liquids, photofunctional rare earth compounds dispersed in ionic liquids, and photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on ionic liquid with special groups (organically modified siloxanes, carboxyl groups, and thiol groups). Herein we focus on the work of our group in the recent years.
