Title

Electroresponsive structuring of non-halogenated ionic liquids on cobalt: A mimic for passive tribological films

Abstract

Over the last 2 years we have studied the electroresponsivity of ionic liquids (ILs) and their solutions at gold electrodes on a range of tribologically interesting ILs, to test the nature of their electroresponsivestructure (ERS). The decision to change to cobalt is twofold: 1) the thin oxide layer is more representative of the oxide layers found on the meal surfaces (e.g., steel) in contacts; 2) we can compare directly to confinement experiments performed with the ATLAS device at EC-Lyon where we prepare Co surfaces with approximately 5 Å roughness. This application introduces a new French team to the neutron reflectance (NR) community who are also strategically located to take advantage and collaborate.
