Аннотация:methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide [BMP][TFSI], 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium dicyanamide [EMIm][DCA], and 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate [EMIm][OAc]. The STM data demonstrate a significant effect of IL ions on the potential ranges of Au(111) surface stability/instability and on the intensity and pattern of the occurring surface changes. Moreover, the effect of both the anion and cation on the surface stability is considerable in a wide range from high negative to high positive potentials. Apparently, not only strong ion adsorption but also the arrangement of IL ions at the electrolyte side of the interface has a significant impact on the stability of the gold surface.
