摘要：

研究离子液体阳离子和阴离子在界面的排列具有意义，因为它们能够影响离子液体在界面的表面结构和属性。作为一种扫描探针显微技术，Kelvin探针力显微镜（KPFM）在本文中被用于室温下离子液体界面性质的研究。离子液体氯化（1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑）（[Bmim]Cl）在本文中被用作研究对象。实验中，[Bmim]Cl被选择性地固定在亲液的化学修饰表面，形成超薄的固态吸附层和液滴。由于表面电势能够用于直接指示表面偶极子，因而对于检测分子的取向十分有用。利用KPFM获得的表面电势图表明[Bmim]Cl离子液体在气液界面（当离子液体以液滴形式存在）和气固界面（当离子液体以固态吸附层形式存在）呈现出不同的分子排列。我们的研究表明Kelvin探针力显微镜能够用于表征离子液体在界面的分子排列。

Abstract:

The alignment of the ionic liquid (IL) cation and anion at the interface is of interest because it would affect the surface structures and properties of IL at the interfaces. In this study, Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), a scanning probe microscopy technique, was used to investigate the interfacial properties of the IL at room temperature. A model molecule, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl), was selectively assembled on the lyophilic chemical patterns prepared on a substrate, forming ultrathin solid-like adsorbate layers and droplets. Because the surface potential is a direct indicator of the surface dipole, which is useful for examining molecular orientation, the surface potential maps captured by KPFM indicated that the [Bmim]Cl molecules demonstrated different orientations at the gas-liquid interface (in the form of a droplet) and at the gassolid interface (in the form of a solid-like adsorbate layer). Our results indicate that KPFM has potential for the characterization of IL molecular alignment at interfaces.
