Abstract

We have recently studied local ion transport and structural changes in thin films of an imidazoliimi based polymerized ionic liquid (PIL) using an integrated experiment-theory approach. We find that experimental data for the kinetics of charging and steady state current-voltage relations could be explained by taking into account the dissociation of ion-pairs xmder an applied electric field (known as the Wien effect). Onsager's theory of the Wien effect coupled with the Poisson-Nemst-Planck (PNP) formalism for the ion transport is found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results. We also demonstrated that by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM) one can form topographical features on the surface of PIL-based thin films with a significantly lower electric potential and power consumption as compared to non-conductive polymer materials. Furthermore, by tuning the applied voltage and ambient air humidity, reproducible control over the dimensions of the structures formed is achieved.
