According to a recent article in PNAS by Gebbie et al., ionic liquids (ILs) should be considered as dilute electrolyte solutions, consisting of ion pairs of which only a small fraction are dissociated (1). This claim is based upon measurements of weak attractive forces between a mica surface and a gold surface across ILs, attributed to double-layer attraction. From the decay length of the attractive force (10–13 nm), an effective free-ion concentration is deduced by fitting to a modified Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theoretical expression. However, the overwhelming evidence from the thermodynamic and transport properties of similar ILs is that they are not composed of neutral ion pairs with simple dissociation equilibria, …

Is a Stern and diffuse layer model appropriate to ionic liquids at surfaces?
