Carbon-Induced Changes in the Morphology and Wetting Behavior of Ionic Liquids on the Mesoscale.

ABSTRACT: Thin films of ionic liquids (ILs) have gained significant attention due to their unique properties and broad applications. Extensive research has focused on studying the influence of ILs' chemical composition and substrate characteristics on the structure and morphology of IL films at the nano- and mesoscopic scales. This study explores the impact of carbon-coated surfaces on the morphology and wetting behavior of a series of alkylimidazolium-based ILs. Specifically, this work investigates the effect of carbon coating on the morphology and wetting behavior of short-chain ([C₂C₁im][NTf₂] and [C₂C₁im][OTf]) and long-chain ([C₈C₁im][NTf₂] and [C₈C₁im][OTf]) ILs deposited on indium tin
