Ionic liquids (ILs) are attractive solvents for devices such as lithium ion batteries and capacitors, but their uptake is limited, partially because their Stern layer nanostructure is poorly understood compared to molecular solvents. Here, in situ am... Read More about Nanostructure of the Ionic Liquid-Graphite Stern Layer.
