Interaction of Imidazolium-based Ionic Liquid with Graphite: An Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Study

we report an EC-STM study on the adsorption, intercalation, and etching behavior of imidazolium-based ILs under open circuit potential (OCP) and cathodic potentials at HOPG/IL interface and their dependence on the length of the alkyl chains in the aromatic cations.

本研究报道了在开放电路电位（OCP）及阴极电位下，基于咪唑基离子液体（ILs）在HOPG/IL界面处的吸附、层插和刻蚀行为的研究，并探讨了其与芳香阳离子中烷基链长度之间的依赖关系。
