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. Its key objectives are to identify critical research challenges; standardize methodologies for measuring IL properties, including solubility, viscosity, conductivity, redox potentials, phase transitions and heat capacity; and create a framework for a critically evaluated database tailored to 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
