Developing unconventional electrolytes such as ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has led to remarkable advances in electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices. However, the understanding of the electrode-electrolyte interfaces of these electrolytes, specifically the liquid structure and the charge/electron transfer mechanism and rates, is lacking due to the complexity of molecular interactions, the difficulty in studying the buried interfaces with nanometer-scale resolution, and the distribution of the time scales for the various interfacial events. This Feature Article outlines the standing questions in the field, summarizes some of the exciting approaches and results, and discusses our contributions to probing the electrified interfaces by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and neutron reflectivity (NR). The related findings are analyzed within electrical double-layer models to provide a framework for studying ILs, DESs, and, more broadly, the concentrated hydrogen-bonded electrolytes.
开发离子液体(ILs)和深共熔溶剂(DESs)等非常规电解质,已在电化学储能和转换装置方面取得了显著进展。然而,由于分子相互作用的复杂性、以纳米级分辨率研究埋藏界面的困难以及各种界面事件的时间尺度分布,目前仍缺乏对这些电解质的电极 - 电解质界面的理解,特别是液体结构以及电荷/电子转移机制和速率。这篇专题文章概述了该领域存在的问题,总结了一些令人兴奋的方法和结果,并讨论了我们通过电化学阻抗谱(EIS)、表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)和中子反射率(NR)探测带电界面所做的贡献。在双电层模型中对相关发现进行了分析,以提供一个研究离子液体、深共熔溶剂以及更广泛的浓氢键电解质的框架。
