Topic Close-up #7
Symposium: L02—Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids 23 (MSIL-23)
Deadline for Submitting Abstracts:
April 22, 2022
Symposium focus: This international and interdisciplinary forum presents the latest research on systems involving molten salts and ionic liquids. Papers on basic and applied research in all areas of chemistry, engineering, electrochemical systems, and physics related to molten salts and ionic liquids are solicited. Topics include but are not restricted to:
1) Power and energy applications (e.g., batteries, fuel cells, semiconductors, photovoltaics, and phase change energy storage);
2) Rare earth and nuclear chemistry (e.g., lanthanides, actinides, radioisotopes, nuclear reprocessing);
3) Electrodeposition (e.g., deposition of alloys, characterization of electroactive species, and surface characterization);
4) Reactions (e.g., catalysis, synthesis, oligomerizations, and polymerizations);
5) Separations (e.g., selective extractions and biphasic systems);
6) Solute and solvent properties (e.g., structural investigations, thermal properties, dynamics, and stability of ionic liquids and molten salts);
7) Biomass applications (e.g., dissolution, modification, and/or reactions utilizing biomass);
8) Materials (e.g., polymer blends, additive manufacturing, active coatings, and corrosion studies);
9) New ionic liquids and molten salt mixtures (e.g., liquid clathrates, binary and ternary melts, and task specific ionic liquids);
10) Deep eutectic solvents (e.g., synthesis, properties, and applications).
