Unified Mesoscale Framework Bridging Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Transport Properties of Ionic Liquids and Their Mixtures

Abstract Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as sustainable alternatives to molecular solvents because of their unique physicochemical properties. Although quantum chemical simulations provide fundamental insights into their intermolecular interactions, constructing coarse-grained m...

Molecular Evaluation of Deep Eutectic Solvents for Wet Algae Lipid Extraction and Biofuel Production

Abstract Microalgae represent promising feedstocks for biofuel production, yet cell-wall disruption remains a critical bottleneck for scaling up lipid extraction. This study evaluates four cholinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as green, energy-effi...
