Zusammenfassung:A theoretical model was established to predict the morphology evolution of a volatile liquid lens evaporation on another immiscible liquid substrate surface. The theoretical model considered the dynamic process of contact line motion. On the basis of the boundary conditions established at the contact line, the morphology change of the liquid lens was calculated by numerically solving the Young-Laplace differential equations for the three interfaces. The mass evaporation rate was calculated by the diffusion-controlled evaporation model. Then, an experimental system was established to record the process of a hexane lens evaporation on the surface of an ionic liquid with a depth of 4 mm. The calculated hexane lens radius variation matches well with the experimental measurements, which shows the rationality of the present model. The calculated results show that the evaporation pattern of the liquid lens follows the constant contact-angle evaporation mode for ∼70% of the lifetime. During the later stage of evaporation, the contact angle decreases, accompanied by contraction of the contact line, which is similar to the mixed evaporation mode in the later stage of sessile droplet evaporation on a solid substrate surface. Furthermore, the influences of the initial hexane lens volume and the ionic liquid temperature on the dynamic contact angle were theoretically summarized. This study helps to provide in-depth insights into regulating the lens evaporation process on another immiscible liquid substrate surface to control the particle deposition mode
