Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as potential lubricants in 2001. Subsequently, there has
been tremendous research interest in ILs from the tribology society since their discovery as …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special category of molten salts solely composed of ions with varied
molecular symmetry and charge delocalization. The versatility in combining varied cation …

Much of chemistry is concerned with the study of reactions and processes in solution, that is,
where liquids are used as solvents. 2, 3 The solvent is the (excess) liquid phase in which …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely investigated as novel solvents, electrolytes, and soft
functional materials. Nevertheless, the widespread applications of ILs in most cases have …

Until recently,“room-temperature”(< 100− 150 C) liquidstate electrochemistry was mostly
electrochemistry of diluted electrolytes 1− 4 where dissolved salt ions were surrounded by a …

Ionic liquids are pure salts that are liquid under ambient conditions. As liquids composed
solely of ions, the scientific consensus has been that ionic liquids have exceedingly high …

The current interest in ionic liquids (ILs) is motivated by some unique properties, such as
negligible vapour pressure, thermal stability and non-flammability, combined with high ionic …

We combine direct surface force measurements with thermodynamic arguments to
demonstrate that pure ionic liquids are expected to behave as dilute weak electrolyte …

Over recent years the Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) has been used to carry out model
experiments revealing structural and dynamic properties of ionic liquids confined to thin …

We have studied the structure of two ionic liquids confined between negatively charged mica
sheets. Both liquids exhibit interfacial layering, however the repeat distance is dramatically …
