Abstract

Room temperature ionic liquids show great promise as electrolytes in various technological applications, such as energy storage or electrotunable lubrication. These applications are particularly intriguing due to the specific behavior of ionic liquids in nanoconfinement. While previous research has been focused on optimizing the required characteristics through the selection of electrolyte properties, the contribution of confining material properties in these systems has been largely overlooked. In this review, we provide constructive analysis of recent developments of theoretical and numerical studies related to the description of surface material properties impact on the ionic liquid behavior in confinement and propose potential ways for further investigations in this direction. Although the presented advances reveal the importance of surface material properties in the application processes with confined ionic liquids, there are still a lot of issues that should be thoroughly investigated in the future. We believe that this review will significantly contribute to the development of new approaches with material properties consideration for confined ionic liquid research.

表面材料性质对纳米约束下离子液体行为的影响：理论与模拟的评述与展望

室温离子液体作为电解质在各种技术应用中显示出巨大的前景，如储能或电可调润滑。由于离子液体在纳米约束下的特殊行为，这些应用特别有趣。虽然以前的研究主要集中在通过选择电解质特性来优化所需的特性，但在这些系统中限制材料特性的贡献在很大程度上被忽视了。在这篇综述中，我们提供了建设性的理论和数值研究的最新进展，这些研究与描述表面材料性质对限制离子液体行为的影响有关，并提出了在这一方向上进一步研究的潜在途径。虽然目前的进展揭示了表面材料性能在受限离子液体应用过程中的重要性，但未来仍有许多问题需要深入研究。我们相信，这一综述将为限制性离子液体研究中考虑材料性质的新方法的发展做出重大贡献。
