Electroresponsiveness of interfacial layers of ionic liquids and their solutions
Electro-responsiveness is currently "hot" in the soft-matter and interfaces community. The ability to control the composition, or conformation and structure of an interfacial layer via application of an electric field is important in nanofluidics and drug delivery as well as in tribology where the goal would be to control the friction in a metallic contact. Similarly, Ionic Liquids (IL) are still in principle novel materials which are receiving great interest for interface intensive applications such as batteries and solar cells. This application builds on a recent successful visit to SUPERADAM where improvements in our surface preparation and predictive simulations led to high resolution data that unambiguously showed that the SLD of the interfacial layer (and thus its composition) was varying as a function of the surface potential. This application marks a change in focus - there are currently two publications in pipeline demonstrating electro-responsiveness of the ILs and their solutions respectively. The next phase is to implement technical improvements (cell, surface) and perform systematic studies integrated with a suite of other measurements.
