Structural reorientation of alkyl chains in the phosphonium cation of orthoborate ionic liquid mixed with glycol ether occurs with increasing normal load of the AFM tip. The flat reoriented structure, similar to the ‘blooming lotus leaf’, produces a new sliding interface that is responsible for the observed lower friction at higher loads.
