The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids 23 (MSIL-23) symposium at the 242nd Meeting of The Electrochemical Society. This is the premier symposium on Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids, and has consistently run a full five days since its inception.

The use of molten salts and ionic liquids has a long tradition in electrochemical processes such as electrodeposition, energy storage and conversion, etc. As the third in a series, this focus issue covers the following molten salts and ionic liquids topics: (more…)

Call for Papers

Journal of The Electrochemical Society
Focus Issue on Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids II

The Journal of The Electrochemical Society will publish a focus issue in connection with the 22nd symposium on Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids (MSIL22) taking place during PRiME 2020.

As the second in a series, this focus issue covers the following molten salts and ionic liquids topics, which include:

  • Power and energy applications
  • Rare earth and nuclear chemistry
  • Electrodeposition
  • Reactions
  • Separations
  • Solute and solvent properties
  • Biomass applications
  • Materials
  • New ionic liquids and molten salt mixtures
  • Deep eutectic solvents

Accepting Submissions: October 15, 2020 | Submission Deadline: January 13, 2021 (more…)

The ECS Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division is currently accepting nominations for the prestigious Max Bredig Award in Molten Salt and Ionic Liquid Chemistry that will be recognized at the fall 2020 biannual meeting (PRiME) in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Max Bredig Award in Molten Salt and Ionic Liquid Chemistry: established in 1984 in order to recognize excellence in molten salt and ionic liquid chemistry research and to stimulate publication of high-quality research papers in this area in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society. This award is unique as it directly coincides with the International Symposium on Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids that takes place every two years at our fall biannual meetings. At AiMES 2018, Robin Rogers delivered the Bredig symposium keynote address entitled From Liquid Clathrates to Ionic Liquids and Back Again. Was Anything Learned on the Journey? (more…)

Focus IssuesThe Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES) Focus Issue on Progress in Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids is now closed, with 51 papers available in the ECS Digital Library. All papers are open access.

In the issue’s preface, authors Robert Mantz, Hugh De Long, Luke Haverhals, and Paul Trulove state, “The objective of this focus issue is to expose the broader community to the research going on in the area of molten salts and ionic liquids beyond that which is presented in the symposium that is organized every two years by ECS. Hopefully these examples of research being pursued will result in the possibility of additional collaborations with the community at large.”

For over 40 years, research related to molten salts and ionic liquids has found a home with ECS. Over the course of those years, interest in the area has expanded, leading unique applications in energy, sensors, rare earth and nuclear chemistry, electrodeposition, reactions, and solute and solvent properties.
