This $320,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a collaborative research project investigating the structure and dynamics of ionic liquids. Professors Claudio Margulis of the University of Iowa and Andrew Nieuwkoop of Rutgers University are leading the 3-year effort, which employs advanced NMR techniques, scattering, and computer simulations to study the intra- and inter-ionic dynamics of selected ionic liquids. The researchers aim to understand fundamental phenomena like how ions move on timescales relevant to transport processes and shed light on liquid-liquid phase transitions in ionic liquids. They will continue to engage students, postdocs, and other collaborators at academic and community college institutions throughout the project. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
