Numerical analyses, both molecular dynamics (MD) analyses and continuous fluid analyses (by the finite difference method), have been performed on electric double layer and electroosmotic flow in nano-scale parallel plates. For a channel width of 8.2 nm, the MD analyses shows that the electric double layer covers whole channel while the continuous fluid analyses indicates that the electric double layer is formed only in the regions near the walls. For a channel width of 20.6 nm, both the MD analyses and the continuous fluid analyses show that the electric double layer appears only in the regions near the walls. It becomes obvious from the MD analyses that the thickness of electric double layer becomes large when the electric field is tilted from the direction of wall surface. By the continuous fluid analyses, the electroosmotic flow velocity is estimated to be 2.5 mm/s and 3.6 mm/s for channel widths of 8.2 nm and 20.6 nm, respectively.

In this work, we investigate the effect of the cation structure on the structure and dynamics of the electrode–electrolyte interface using molecular dynamics simulations. A constant potential method is used to capture the behaviour of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethane)sulfonimide ([C2mim][NTf2]) and butyltrimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide ([N4,1,1,1][NTf2]) ionic liquids at varying potential differences applied across the supercapacitor. We find that the details of the structure in the electric double layer and the dynamics differ significantly, yet the charge profile and capacitance do not vary greatly. For the systems considered, charging results in the rearrangement and reorientation of ions within ∼1 nm of the electrode rather than the diffusion of ions to/from the bulk region. This occurs on timescales of O(10 ns) for the ionic liquids considered, and depends on the viscosity of the fluid.

We investigate the charging phenomena of an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) by conducting both equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
