TL;DR: Observations confirm key aspects of a predicted electric double layer structure from an analytical Landau-Ginzburg-type continuum theory incorporating ion correlation effects, and provide a new baseline for understanding the fundamental nanoscale response of RTILs at charged interfaces.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate complex interdependencies among adsorbed cation coverage and speciation, interfacial hydration structure, and muscovite surface relaxation and electron-density profiles of the solution near the surface varied systematically and distinctly with each adsor Bed cation.

TL;DR: Distributions of divalent metal cations at the muscovite-solution interface observed using resonant anomalous X-ray reflectivity demonstrate an unexpected complexity with respect to the EDL structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of synchrotron X-ray reflectivity (XRR) experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations carried out under identical conditions for a range of 0.1 M alkali chloride (Li-, Na-, K-, Rb-, or CsCl) solutions on the basal surface of muscovite mica, a mineral isostructural to phyllosilicate clay minerals and one of the most widely studied reference surfaces in interfacial science.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential and time-dependent changes in the electric double layer (EDL) structure of an imidazolium-based room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) electrolyte at an epitaxial graphene (EG) surface were studied.
