We aim at understanding the fundamental processes and the chemical/morphological stability of IL/solid interfaces in Advanced SCILLs. We will proceed in three steps: for non-functionalised and functionalised ILs, we will investigate (a) the chemical interaction and the wetting behaviour of (ultra)thin IL films on the supporting solid on a wide range of well-defined substrates, (b) the stability of Advanced SCILL systems from the point of view of interface chemistry and morphology, and finally, (c) strategies to control and to switch the adsorption and wetting behaviour. Using ARXPS, STM, and AFM, we will extract interface compositions, depth profiles, chemical states, adsorption geometries and growth behaviour.
