Project description
Seeing electrolytes under a new light
Electrolytes are materials which transport ionic charge. Essential for a number of bodily functions, they are everywhere – our blood, sweat and urine. Animals and plants are also made up of electrolytes, as are the oceans. Also, batteries and fuel cells incorporate electrolytes as a central and essential component. The EU-funded ELECTROLYTE project will explore and understand molecular interactions in complex and high-concentration electrolytes. It will draw on theories and predictions from far-separated disciplines of Coulomb physics, ionic liquid chemistry, soft matter, and the biology of halophiles. The findings will shed new light on innovating electrolyte materials for future technologies.
