Many important applications of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), e.g., lubrication, energy storage and catalysis, involve RTILs confined to solid surfaces. In order to optimize the performance, it is critical to understand the wettability of nanometer-thick RTILs on solid surfaces. In this review, the recent progress in this filed is presented. First, the macroscopic wettability of RTILs on solids will be discussed briefly. Afterwards, the wetting of nanometer-thick RTILs will be discussed with the emphasis on RTIL/mica and RTIL/graphite interfaces since mica and graphite not only are mostly studied but also have important real-life applications. For RTIL/mica interface, the extended layering that promotes the wetting has been extensively reported and it is generally accepted that the electrostatic interaction at the RTIL/mica interface is the key. However, recent works from others and us highlight the unexpected effect of water:Water enables ion exchange between K⁺ and the cations of RTILs on the mica surface and thus triggers the ordered packing of cations/anions in RTILs, resulting in extended layering. Different from mica, there is no electrical charge on the graphite surface. Interestingly, previous reports showed inconsistent results on the wettability of RTILs on graphite. Recent research from others and us suggested that π-π⁺ stacking between sp² carbon and the imidazoliumcation in the RTILs is the key to the extended layering and enhanced wettability of RTILs. Lastly, the future research directions will be briefly discussed.
