A Classical Density Functional Theory of Ionic Liquids

Abstract: Classical Density Functional Theory of Ionic Liquids 3 Other approachesILs are fascinating from a theoretical standpoint. In order to treat ILs, a theory must account for both electrostatic and steric correlations. Attempts to develop such a theory have appeared in the literature. These include the lattice based model by Kornyshev and co-workers (Fedorov et al. , 2008;Kornyshev , 2007). In another lattice approach by Lauw and coworkers (Lauw et al. , 2009), both cations and anions were modelled by a star-like… Show more

“…On the other hand, surface depletion of the RTIL at the neutral electrode can cause the differential capacitance to decrease at low potentials as well. [4][5][6][7] This can be offset if the neutral electrode surface has a high affinity to the RTIL. These effects combine to generate a (now characteristic) 'camel-shaped' differential capacitance curve.…”

“…6 In that work we used a simple CG model of the RTIL, which facilitated our semi-analytical approach. While our theory was also successful in producing novel differential capacitance behaviour, comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations of the same CG model highlighted some discrepancies.…”

“…On the other hand, steric hindrance due to large molecular structure is quite strong and causes RTILs to remain fluid rather than to crystallize. 3 This strong interplay between steric exclusion and electrostatic interactions brings many desirable properties to RTILs including low melting point, negligible vapor pressure and high electrochemical stability. These coupled with a large variety of cations and anions to choose from, make RTILs a vigorous research area at the moment.…”

“…In this article, we shall use a classical density functional theory (DFT) to carry out a theoretical study, which will focus on capillary condensation of RTIL+solvent mixtures in model pores with slit-like geometries. A classical DFT for ionic liquids was recently reported by us to study oligimeric ionic liquids at interfaces [22]. Other approaches using the primitive model for electrolytes have also been reported in the literature [23].…”
