外文摘要：Single-molecule junctions,integrating individual molecules as active components between electrodes,serve as fundamental building blocks for advanced electronic and sensing technologies.The application of ionic liquids in single-molecule junctions represents a cutting-edge and rapidly evolving field of research at the intersection of nanoscience,materials chemistry,and electronics.This review explores recent advances where ionic liquids function as electrolytes,dielectric layers,and structural elements within single-molecule junctions,reshaping charge transport,redox reactions,and molecular behaviors in these nanoscale systems.We comprehensively dissect fundamental concepts,techniques,and modulation mechanisms,elucidating the roles of ionic liquids as gates,electrochemical controllers,and interface components in single-molecule junctions.Encompassing applications from functional device construction to unraveling intricate chemical reactions,this review maps the diverse applications of ionic liquids in single-molecule junctions.Moreover,we propose critical future research topics in this field,including catalysis involving ionic liquids at the single-molecule level,functionalizing single-molecule devices using ionic liquids,and probing the structure and interactions of ionic liquids.These endeavors aim to drive technological breakthroughs in nanotechnology,energy,and quantum research.
