Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Research 

Research into high-temperature molten salts (MS) is undergoing a revival because of their advantages for clean and sustainable energy harvesting; think molten salts nuclear reactors and solar energy capture. In the past couple of decades, we have also seen a massive expansion in the design of ionic liquids (ILs) -the lower temperature cousins of the MSs- for specific applications including for energy (batteries and supercapacitors), to capture gases such as carbon dioxide, and to dissolve cellulose just to mention a few applications. With a focus on all these topics, and in collaborations with many others from multiple universities and national laboratories, our group is interested in the structure, structural dynamics, and reactivity of these systems and species dissolved in them.
