The Twentieth International Symposium on Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids
Abstract
The symposium provided an international and interdisciplinary forum to present 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 and attached. The topics included: (1) history of molten salts and ionic liquids; (2) power & energy applications (e.g., batteries, fuel cells, semiconductors, photovoltaics, and phase change energy storage); (3) rare earth and nuclear chemistry (e.g., lanthanides, actinides, radioisotopes, nuclear reprocessing); (4) electrodeposition (e.g., deposition of alloys, characterization of electroactive species, and surface characterization); (5) reactions (e.g., catalysis, synthesis, oligomerizations, and polymerizations); (6) separations (e.g., selective extractions and biphasic systems); (7) solute and solvent properties (e.g. structural investigations, thermal properties, dynamics, and stability of ionic liquids and molten salts); (8) biomass applications (e.g., dissolution, modification, and/or reactions utilizing biomass), (9) materials (e.g., polymer blends, active coatings, and corrosion studies); and (10) new ionic liquids and molten salt mixtures(e.g., liquid clathrates, binary and ternary melts, and task specific ionic liquids). Keynote lectures were presented by invited speakers, which funds were allocated for. A poster session was held with primarily student participation. Student participation was highly anticipated and funds were allocated for their use.
