Abstract:Film deposition and high‐resolution patterning of ionic liquids (ILs) remain a challenge, despite a broad range of applications that would benefit from this type of processing. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of ILs. The IL‐CVD method is based on the formation of a non‐volatile IL through the reaction of two vaporized precursors. Ionogel micropatterns can be easily obtained via the combination of IL‐CVD and standard photolithography, and the resulting microdrop array… Show more
