Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Discussion Group

Who we are

The Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Discussion Group (MSILDG) is a network of experienced scientists working in the field of high temperature molten salts and ionic liquids. We offer professional advice to other members and actively encourage younger scientists . The Group has been active for over five decades. A brief history of the Group, and its contribution to molten salts and ionic liquids research can be found here.

The Group holds two meetings every year, one in the summer, one just before Christmas. These meetings cover a wide range of non-aqueous chemistry including such topics as inorganic and organic molten salt chemistry, physical properties of ionic liquids, glass chemistry, molten and solid electrolyte fuel cell technology, battery applications, inorganic gas phase chemistry, geochemistry, electrochemistry, slags, metal refining, thermodynamics and chemical modelling. In addition to these meetings, the MSILDG provides communication, information-exchange and networking opportunities via online media.

Membership of the Group provides numerous benefits, including access to key players in the field, reduced registration fees for students and first-time participants for all MSILDG events and access to MSILDG bursaries for conference participation.
 
To join the MSILDG, could RSC members please include MSILDG as one of their subject interest group (which is free if you belong to no more than three groups). For non-RSC members interested in molten salts and ionic liquids, please navigate to MyRSC and register as instructed.
