Imidazolium ion-terminated self-assembled monolayers on Au: effects of counteranions on surface wettability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-assembled monolayers presenting imidazolium ions at the tail ends (SAMIMs) having different counteranions have been prepared on Au, and the measurement of water contact angles of the surfaces proved to be an extremely valuable simple technique for quantifying the effects of counteranions on hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of SAMIMs, which will be extrapolated to the water miscibility of the related ionic liquids.

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to ethylene glycol on imidazolium ion-terminated self-assembly monolayer-modified Au electrodes in an aqueous solution.
Imidazolium ion-terminated self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-modified electrodes achieve CO2 conversion while suppressing hydrogen evolution. Immobile imidazolium ion on gold (Au) electrodes reduce CO2 at low overpotential. The distance between electrode and imidazolium ion separated by alkane thiol affects CO2 reduction activity. CO2 reduction current depends on the tunnel current rate. Although ...
متن کاملFirst-principles study on the electronic structure of Thiophenbithiol (TBT) on Au(100) surface
First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...
متن کاملIonic liquid self-assembled monolayer and ion exchange for surface force control
m .cn Adhesion and lateral force were controlled by the formation of a self-assembled monolayer combined with the surface ion exchange of ionic liquids on a silicon surface. In this study, the functionalized imidazolium ionic liquids were designed and synthesized with the aim of controlling surface force. N-[3-(Trimethoxylsilyl)propyl] ethylenediamine molecules were first self-assembled onto a ...
متن کاملDirecting the fate of human and mouse mesenchymal stem cells by hydroxyl-methyl mixed self-assembled monolayers with varying wettability.
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols on gold have been employed as model substrates to investigate the effects of surface chemistry on cell behavior. However, few studies were dedicated to the substrates with a controlled wettability in studying stem cell fate. Here, mixed hydroxyl (-OH) and methyl (-CH3) terminated SAMs were prepared to form substrates with varying wettability, whi...
