Surface structure of equimolar mixture of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)
imide ([C2C1Im][Tf2N]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C2C1Im][BF4]) is studied using high-resolution Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (HRBS) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Both HRBS and MD simulations show enrichment of [Tf2N] in the first molecular layer although the degree of enrichment observed by HRBS is more pronounced than
that predicted by theMDsimulation. In the subsurface region, MD simulation shows a small depletion of [Tf2N] while HRBS shows a small enrichment here. This discrepancy is partially attributed to the artifact of the MD simulations. Since the number of each ion is fixed in a finite-size simulation box, surface enrichment of particular ion results in its artificial depletion in the subsurface region.
