Abstract: There has been a dramatic growth in ionic liquids research over the past decade and a large number of novel ionic liquids with a wide range of application have been discovered. Since ionic liquids are recognized as green solvents，the research is focused on their synthesis，physicochemical properties and application，and not on their degradation，toxicity and corrosivity，which are directly related to environmental protection. This review addresses these key issues and highlights the research directions and outlook of ionic liquids.

摘要： 近十年来，离子液体作为绿色溶剂，成为化学领域的研究热点。目前，离子液体相关的研究主要集中于合成、物化特性和应用研究，却未充分重视与环保问题直接相关的降解性、毒性和腐蚀性等安全性研究。本文作者根据目前已经公开的研究结果，综述了离子液体在生物降解性、环境降解性、毒性和腐蚀性等方面的研究进展，探讨了离子液体作为绿色溶剂应用的研究方向和前景。
