Vr. Koch et al., THE INTERFACIAL STABILITY OF LI WITH 2 NEW SOLVENT-FREE IONIC LIQUIDS- 1,2-DIMETHYL-3-PROPYLIMIDAZOLIUM IMIDE AND METHIDE, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 142(7), 1995, pp. 116-118
The room temperature stability of the Li interface in the presence of
1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium imide and methide was followed by ele
ctrochemical impedance spectroscopy for a period of 112 days. We found
that while Li foil initially reacted with both ionic liquids, the int
erfacial film on Li formed in the imide-based electrolyte stabilized a
t an interfacial resistance of 1.5 k Ohm cm(2), while that for the met
hide-based electrolyte rose to an interfacial resistance value exceedi
ng 50 k Ohm cm(2).
