Ionic liquids (ILs) represent a blooming class of continuously developing advanced materials, with the aiming green chemical industry. Their appealing physical and properties are largely influenced by their micro- mesoscopic structure that is known to possess high degree hierarchical organization. High-impact application fields affected complex morphology neat ionic mixtures. This Perspective highlights new arising research directions point an enhanced level structural complexity in several IL-based systems, including The latter change paradigm approach formulate new, task-specific media, reported phenomenology has potential further expand range applications calling for revisitation nature interactions these exciting media.
