Understanding ionic liquids through atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations
Article Abstract:
Atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamic simulations were used for examining the physical properties of ionic liquids (ILs). A spatial heterogeneity is observed in ILs with an amphiphilic cation due to the aggregation of their nonpolar alkyl tails.

Accounting for the unique, doubly dual nature of ionic liquids from a molecular thermodynamic and modeling standpoint
Article Abstract:
A study to examine the thermophysical behavior of ionic liquid-containing systems is conducted. Findings reveal the doubly dual nature of ionic liquids and the existence of cations and anions forming high- and low-charge density regions.
