A bibliometric analysis based on Scopus database was performed to identify the global research trends related to Supported Ionic Liquid Membranes (SILMs) during the time period from 1995 to 2015. This work tries to improve the understanding of the most relevant research topics and applications. The results from the analysis reveal that only after 2005 the research efforts focused on SILMs became significant, since the references found before that year are scarce. The most important research works on the four main application groups for SILMs defined in this work (carbon dioxide separation, other gas phase separations, pervaporation and liquid phase separations) were summarized in this paper. Carbon dioxide separation appeared as the application that has received by far the most attention according to the research trends during the analysed period. Comments about other significant applications that are gaining attention, such as the employment of SILMs in analytical tasks or their consideration for the production of fuel cells, have been included.
基于Scopus数据库进行了文献计量分析，以确定1995年至2015年期间与负载型离子液体膜（SILMs）相关的全球研究趋势。这项工作旨在增进对最相关研究主题和应用的理解。分析结果表明，直到2005年之后，对SILMs的研究工作才变得显著，因为在该年份之前发现的参考文献很少。本文总结了关于这项工作中定义的SILMs四个主要应用组（二氧化碳分离、其他气相分离、渗透汽化和液相分离）的最重要研究工作。根据分析期间的研究趋势，二氧化碳分离是迄今为止受到最多关注的应用。文中还对其他受到关注的重要应用进行了评论，例如SILMs在分析任务中的应用或其在燃料电池生产中的考虑。
