Atomic-Scale Three-Dimensional Local Solvation Structures of Ionic Liquids

Published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

Room-temperature ionic liquids are promising media for next-generation energy devices because of their various superior characteristics. Because device performance is often dictated by the solvation structures at the solid–liquid interfaces, particularly at the local reactive sites, their atomistic pictures are in great demand. However, there has b...
