Abstract:

In this work we aim towards the molecular understanding of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation at the electrode electrolyte interface (EEI). Herein, we investigated the interaction between the battery‐relevant ionic liquid (IL) 1‐butyl‐1‐methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMP‐TFSI), Li and a Co$_{3}$O$_{4}$(111) thin film model anode grown on Ir(100) as a model study of the SEI formation in Li‐ion batteries (LIBs). We employed mostly X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in combination with dispersion‐corrected density functional theory calculations (DFT‐D3). If the surface is pre‐covered by BMP‐TFSI species (model electrolyte), post‐deposition of Li (Li$^{+}$ ion shuttle) reveals thermodynamically favorable TFSI decomposition products such as LiCN, Li$_{2}$NSO$_{2}$CF$_{3}$, LiF, Li$_{2}$S, Li$_{2}$O$_{2}$, Li$_{2}$O, but also kinetic products like Li$_{2}$NCH$_{3}$C$_{4}$H$_{9}$ or LiNCH$_{3}$C$_{4}$H$_{9}$ of BMP. Simultaneously, Li adsorption and/or lithiation of Co$_{3}$O$_{4}$(111) to LinCo$_{3}$O$_{4}$ takes place due to insertion via step edges or defects; a partial transformation to CoO cannot be excluded. ... mehr
