Abstract

The electrochemical interface between a polycrystalline Pt electrode and an ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethane sulfonate ([bmim]OTf) has been studied by in situ sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. Potential dependent adsorption and desorption processes of OTf anion as well as [bmim] cation have been observed. A double-layer model of the interface structure has been suggested based on the behavior of both the anion and the cation in the electrochemical potential window. Hysteresis effect has been observed during the desorption and the re-adsorption processes of both the anion and the cation on the Pt surface.
