Tailored Properties of Ionic Liquid Electrolytes for
Sustainable Energy Storage Applications
The Workshop will stimulate collaborative interactions and consolidate a community of scientists working on ionic-liquid (IL) based electrolyte systems. Key objectives are identifying critical research challenges; standardizing methodologies for measuring IL properties (solubility, viscosity, conductivity, redox potentials, phase transition, heat capacity, etc.), creating a framework for a critically evaluated database tailored towards the energy storage applications.
Topics
- Electrolytes and ionic liquids: stability, ion transport, solubility limits, phase equilibria, and interfacial properties
- Integrated computational approaches: molecular modeling, simulations, and machine learning
- Optimization of electrolyte formulations for emerging battery technologies
- Solubility’s role in degradation prevention and lifespan extension
