Ionic liquids, as novel soft functional materials, can serve as green solvent and active center in catalytic reaction. Meanwhile, it can be used as a catalytically functional molecule to decorate other solid nano materials. In this paper, the concept toward task-specific ionic liquid (TSILs) hybrid solid nano materials and new catalytic performance are systematically reviewed from the perspective of design,synthesis and application of heterogeneous catalytic materials. Finally, we summarized state of the art and made an outlook about TSILs hybrid solid nano materials.
