Abstract
Biodiesel is a promising alternative biofuel that is a subject of much research because of growing demand for sustainable energy sources. In the synthesis of biodiesel, ionic liquids (ILs), a class of organic salts with adjustable physicochemical characteristics, have drawn a lot of interest as effective and eco-friendly substitutes for traditional solvents and catalysts. This chapter examines the various functions of ILs in the production of biodiesel, including as their application as extraction solvents, reaction media, and homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. ILs are very useful in transesterification and esterification reactions because of their strong catalytic activity, recyclability, and improved enzyme stability. Particular attention is paid to basic and acidic ILs, their impact on reaction efficiency, and their potential to take the role of conventional catalysts while lowering environmental issues associated with the process.
