        abstract = {Improvement in the different processes such as, technologies related to water treatment, oil recovery, organic synthesis, extraction of biomass and carbon capture has been improved via the use of surface active molecules instead of using conventional surfactants. Self active ionic liquids are the ionic liquids having long alkyl chains. Use of ionic liquids and surface active ionic liquids improves the properties of conventional surfactants like, aggregation and surface activity. Surface active ionic liquids and ionic liquids provide an environment friendly alternative to the different organic catalysts and solvents with the properties like, self assembly, enhanced selectivity as well as higher activity. This review discuss about the ionic liquids, surface active ionic liquids, structure of ionic liquids and their characterization.},
