The electrolyte solutionsin complex media like aqueous ionic solutions[1-6] or rare
earth salts in Winsor II regime, i.e. dispersed microemulsion with concentrated
brine [7] are of fundamental importance of the development of theory of
electrolyte to understand the various complicated phenomena in chemical and
biological processes. In first part of the talk, I will discuss the structural and
dynamical properties of aqueous ionic solutions containing halide and a molecular
anion like azide ion from first principle calculations and their importance in
different chemical and biological processes. [1-6] In the second part of the talk, the
modeling of aqueous rare earth salts in Winsor II regime will be discussed using first
principle approaches and their applications in nuclear industry and various
recycling processes and other possible future applications. [7] At last, I will
introduce a new concept of electrolyte in terms of the transition metal complexes
in non-aqueous redox flow cell and their modeling from first principle calculations
to increase the energy density of the redox active species in a non-aqueous media.
Thus, I will discuss about the latest development in the modeling of solubility of
redox active species in different non-aqueous media from first principle
calculations and their possible future applications in the field of non-aqueous redox
flow cell and other biochemical processes. [8]
