• Delocalization of charge
• High steric hindrance • Large ionic radius
Organic Cations and Anions
General salts: solid Melting point: > 800K [1] Ex) NaCl, CaCO3, CaSO4

Different anion
Different anion : C only changed slightly
Promissing?? 6/12
Refractive index change at Au electrode surface
due to cation/anion rearrangement
against the potential steps
Principle
Reflectivity change at interface
with different refractive index of adsorption layer.
ESPR Measurement : Principle
・Incident laser excites surface plasmon wave at Au thin film.
・Resonance angle(i.e. incident angle at minimum reflectivity)
changes (Dθ)
・Resonance angle correlates with refractive index
at the interface of Au thin film.

Different anion Same anion
Discussion
Difference in the anion size is not
necessarily responsible for D0 and 𝜏 .
Li complex anions may form to
decelerate relaxation in EDL of TFSA
and FSA based samples.
Asymmetry of the relaxation time is
noticeable.
Multi-core complexes can slowly
make a structure through mass
transfer to the interface.
/ Strong adsorption
A part of bonds of multi-core
complexes break to leave from
the interface relatively quickly.
/ Weak adsorption
Negative step
Positive step
Different anion: Highly dense ionic layer Same anion: Low dense ionic layer 13/12
Conclusion
All the relaxation times increased.
Li complex anions may form to decelerate relaxation in EDL.
・Positive step: Multi-core complexes can slowly form a structure
through mass transfer
・Negative step: Multi-core complexes can leave
from the interface relatively quickly.

Discussion: Same anion system MD calculation:
C4mimFSA+LiFSA
Q. Li+ forms some Li-anion complex at the interface?
A. Yes, it does.
★Li+&FSA forming complex anion network(snapshots)
★@negative charged electrode
・ Li+&FSA: density in the first ionic layer decreases or peak shifted to the
bulk side ・C4mim+: density in the first ionic layer increases (number density
distribution)
