Overview
Molten salts generally include conventional
high-temperature molten salts, metal molten
salt systems, glass-forming systems, androom-temperaturemoltensalts,
more
commonly called ionic liquids. Molten saltchemistry and technology are becoming
increasingly important for the realization of acarbon-neutralsociety.
Notablerecentapplications include batteries, green smelting,recycling, CO2 utilization, nuclear power,pyrochemical reprocessing of nuclear fuel, andmore.
This joint symposium includes three historicalmeetings on molten salts and ionic liquids:"12th International Conference on Molten Salt
Chemistry and Technology" (since 1983), "8thAsian Conference on Molten Salt Chemistry
and Technology" extended from "Japan-China
Bilateral Conference on Molten Salt Chemistryand Technology" (since 1986), and "55thSymposium on Molten Salt Chemistry inJapan" (since 1958).
This symposium aims to discuss and deepen
our understanding of the basic science ofmolten salts, such as structure, dynamics,electrochemistry,interfacialandthermodynamic properties, as well as thelatest applications that contribute to thesustainable development of humanity, asdescribed above.

Scientific ProgramThis symposium covers a wide range ofbasic and applied aspects of molten saltchemistry and technology.
- Electrodeposition, Corrosion- Thermodynamics- Rechargeable batteries- Ionic liquids- Industrial electrolysis, Smelting- Fuel cells- Surfaces, Interfaces, Nanoscale- Spectroscopy, Modeling, Simulation- Nuclear energy
The focus will also be on environmental
and energy technologies. The program
will consist of plenary lectures, invited
talks, oral presentations, and posterpresentations.

Symposium Venue
The venue is Kyoto Garden Palacelocated in the central area of Kyoto city,where you can enjoy the beautiful
seasons of Kyoto Imperial Palace inrelaxing and quiet surroundings.

Special Issue
After the symposium, all participants areencouraged to submit a full paper to theSpecial
IssueofElectrochemistry.
Electrochemistry is a peer-reviewed journal
published by The Electrochemical Society ofJapan. Details on submission procedures anddeadlines will be announced later.
