Summary
Ionic liquids are still icons for different applications as green or not-so-green chemicals. Apart from the necessary regulations protecting their safe use and impact on the environment and living beings1, they have particular physicochemical properties, pure, mixed, or with dispersed nanomaterials that make them potentially attractive and efficient thermal energy transfer and storage engineering fluids. \nAmong the properties studied, one of them, thermal conductivity is essential for many developing heat transfer applications. Still, it is challenging owing to the difficulties of performing rigorous experiments and in modeling, whether theoretically or empirically based2. The experience of our research group in the field, one of few existing in the world with high-quality work, will be exemplified, with pure ionic liquids, IoNanofluids, and aqueous mixtures3-5, with special emphasis on the most recent publications, contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and a 2050 solar-powered and sustainable society.\n[1] Maria José Lourenço, João Alexandre, Charlotte Huisman, Xavier Paredes, Carlos Nieto de Castro, “The balance between energy, environmental security, and technical performance: the regulatory challenge of nanofluids”, Special Issue on Colloids and Nanofluids for Energy Management, Nanomaterials, 2021, 11(8), 1871.
