Ionic liquid adsorption in confined materials. (A) Typical snapshot showing the adsorption of tetraethylammonium (blue balls) and tetrafluoroborate (BF₄^–, green balls) dissolved in propylene carbonate (sticks) within a carbon nanotube forest (turquoise balls). R represents the pore radius. Reproduced with permission from ref (253). Copyright 2009 American Chemical Society. (B) Typical snapshots of the adsorption of EMIM-BF₄ ionic liquid (red balls, EMIM⁺ center of mass; blue balls, BF₄^– center of mass) within the interior of carbon nanotubes in (n, n) armchair configurations (sticks). The corresponding n values are associated with each snapshot. Reproduced with permission from ref (254). Copyright 2010 American Chemical Society.
