Abstract

Antagonistic salts are composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic ions. In binary mixtures, such as a mixture of water and an organic solvent, these ion pairs preferentially dissolve into their respective phases, and there exists a coupling between the charge density and composition. The heterogeneous distribution of ions forms a large electric double layer at the interface between these solvents. This reduces the interfacial tension between water and the organic solvent, and stabilizes an ordered structure, such as a membrane. These phenomena have been extensively studied from theoretical and experimental perspectives.
