Grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) patterns have multiple superimposed contributions from the shape of the nanoscale structure, the coupling between the particles, the partial pair correlation, and the layer geometry. Therefore, it is not easy to identify the model manually from the huge amounts of combinations. The convolutional neural network (CNN), which is one of the artificial neural networks, can find regularities to classify patterns from large amounts of combinations. CNN was applied to classify GISAXS patterns, focusing on the shape of the nanoparticles. The network found regularities from the GISAXS patterns and showed a success rate of about 90% for the classification. This method can efficiently classify a large amount of experimental GISAXS patterns according to a set of model shapes and their combinations.

Aggregation and clustering of metal-amphiphile complexes formed during solvent extraction of lanthanides have been studied with small angle X-ray scattering. The nanoscale structure of the complex fluid strongly depends on the counter-ion (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> or SCN<sup>-</sup>) and the lanthanide being extracted. As a result, it is possible to selectively transport light or heavy lanthanides from the aqueous phase into the organic phase by simply choosing NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> or SCN<sup>-</sup> as the background anion, respectively. While the organic phase containing TOMA-NO<sub>3</sub> always shows clustering, indicating the presence of stronger attractive interactions between metal-amphiphile aggregates, TOMA-SCN shows clustering as a function of the metal loading. These qualitative differences suggest that the extraction efficiency is driven by the aqueous phase conditions in NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> solutions, while it is driven by the organic phase structuring in SCN<sup>-</sup> solutions. A clustering model, that accounts for the hard sphere repulsions and short-range attractions between the aggregates, has been developed to model the X-ray scattering results. The new model successfully describes the nanoscale structure and helps understanding the mechanisms responsible for amphiphile assisted ion transport and complexation between immiscible liquids.

The pre-peak in the X-ray scattering patterns of ionic liquids is not always due to alkyl chains. In choline–proline (a bio-compatible ionic liquid), it is due to second-shell cation–cation distances.
