Abstract

The structure of ionic liquids (ILs) at the electrochemical IL|Hg interface has been studied using the pendant drop method. From the electrocapillarity (potential dependence of interfacial tension) differential capacitance (Cd) at zero frequency (in other words, static differential capacitance or differential capacitance in equilibrium) has been evaluated. The potential dependence of zero-frequency Cd at the IL|Hg interface exhibits one or two local maxima near the potential of zero charge (Epzc), depending on the cation of the ILs. For 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, an IL with the cation having a short alkyl chain, the Cdvs. potential curve has one local maximum whereas another IL, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, with the cation having a long alkyl chain, shows two maxima. These behaviors of zero-frequency Cd agree with prediction by recent theoretical and simulation studies for the electrical double layer in ILs. At negative and positive potentials far from Epzc, the zero-frequency Cd increases for both the ILs studied. The increase in zero-frequency Cd is attributable to the densification of ionic layers in the electrical double layer.
