Abstract
The structural properties of a mixture of ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), a protic ionic liquid, and lithium nitrate are explored using X-ray diffraction and reverse Monte Carlo simulation. The system is characterised by the amphiphilically driven polar–apolar domains segregation that is peculiar of EAN, whilst the lithium ions distribute in the charged domains where they undergo a further level of self-segregation, prompting for a new ion solvation mechanism in amphiphilically nanostructured ionic liquids.
