In spite of their enormous applications as alternative energy storage devices and lubricants, room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) still pose many challenges from a pure scientific viewpoint. We develop an IL microscopic theory in terms of ionic clusters, which describes the IL behavior close to charged interfaces. The full structure factor of finite-size clusters is considered and allows us to retain fine and essential details of the system as a whole. Beside the reduction in the screening, it is shown that ionic clusters cause the charge density to oscillate near charged boundaries, with alternating ion-size thick layers, in agreement with experiments. We distinguish between short-range oscillations that persist for a few ionic layers close to the boundary, as opposed to long-range damped oscillations that hold throughout the bulk. The former can be captured by finite-size ion pairs, while the latter is associated with larger clusters with a pronounced quadrupole (or higher) moment. The long-wavelength limit of our theory recovers the well-known Bazant-Storey-Kornyshev (BSK) equation in the linear regime, and elucidates the microscopic origin of the BSK phenomenological parameters.
