Abstract

Abstract : The electrical double layer structure formed in an ionic liquid electrolyte was determined by combining the neutron reflectivity and deuterium labelling techniques. Abstract : We combined the deuterium labeling and neutron reflectivity techniques to determine the fine structure of the electric double layer structure in an imidazolium ionic liquid (IL). For this, a simple and large scale deuteration method for imidazolium ILs was developed, where the deuteration level can be systematically controlled.
