The Faraday Discussions article delves into the equilibrium behavior of ionic fluids, covering topics such as thermodynamics, nanostructure, phase behavior, and activity. Researchers engage in a discussion on phase separation, ion size differences, and temperature effects, exploring the impact of ion pairing, solvation properties, and polymer conformation on the phase separation of salt solutions. The study aims to understand the driving forces behind liquid-liquid phase separation and its practical applications in electrochemical devices and batteries, emphasizing the need for diverse datasets and molecular structure correlations to enhance predictive models for deep eutectic solvents.

The document delves into the properties of dense ionic fluids, particularly the viscoelastic characteristics influenced by charge-charge correlations. Researchers shared their findings on topics like charge alternation peaks relaxation and micelle behavior in deep eutectic solvents. Interactions between hydrogenated and fluorinated moieties in ionic liquid mixtures were examined, revealing no phase separation. Additionally, the use of machine learning potentials in molecular dynamics simulations to study transport coefficients in complex charged solutions was explored, with discussions on the choice of potentials, treatment of long-range Coulomb interactions, and the accuracy of DFT calculations. The study focuses on a specific ionic liquid but hints at future exploration of more complex systems. [Extracted from the article]
