This talk presents an overview of our recent theoretical efforts directed at understanding the thermodynamic and transport properties of ionic species in charged micropores based on the classical density functional theory in combination with coarse-grained molecular models and continuous equations to describe ionic distributions, fluid mechanics and reaction kinetics. Illustrative examples will be discussed in the context of experimental strategies to improve electrochemical capacitor performance, to identify optimal operation parameters for capacitive energy extraction with porous electrodes, and to understand the flow effects on ion transport and surface reactions in microchannels.<br/>
