الوصف: In this study, we investigated the graphene-ionic liquid (EMImBF4) interface to clarify the effects of ambient temperature and potential on the differential capacitance. We complemented molecular dynamics simulations with density functional theory calculations to unravel the electrolyte and electrode contributions to the differential capacitance. As a result, we show: (1) the relation of characteristic saddle points of the capacitance-potential curve to the structural changes; (2) the smearing effect of temperature on the local structure and, consequently, on the capacitance; (3) rationalization of these observations with the interfacial bilayer model; and, finally, (4) how quantum capacitance correction dampens the influence of temperature and improves the agreement with the experimental data. These insights are of fundamental and practical importance for the application of similar interfaces in electrochemical energy storage and transformation devices, such as capacitors and actuators.
