Surface composition of a binary system "Ionic Liquid/Lithium Salt", investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy — •Fabian Ullmann¹, Anna Dimitrova¹, Marcel Himmerlich¹, Oliver Höfft², Frank Endres², and Stefan Krischok¹ — ¹Institut für Physik & IMN MacroNano, Technische Universität Ilmenau, Germany — ²Institut für Elektrochemie, Technische Universität Clausthal, Germany

Since a decade, the binary systems Ionic-Liquids (ILs)/lithium-salt are widely used media in electrochemistry. They were shown to be an important component in electrolytes for Li-ion batteries, and it is already demonstrated that a number of refractory metals are successfully deposited in ILs only in the presence of Li+. In order to control the electrochemical processes, an understanding of molecular and ionic interactions, which occur prior the electrochemical reduction, is required and the influence of side reactions of the electrolyte with the ambient atmosphere has to be known. To this end Photoelectron spectroscopy in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) is a powerful tool, being accessible to the very low vapor pressure of many ILs. In this study we use two ionic liquids with a common anionic part: [Py1,4][Tf2N] and [EMIm][Tf2N], in which Li[Tf2N] was dissolved in different quantities. The surface composition of these binary mixtures was studied both (i) for samples handled and transported to the UHV chamber solely under inert atmosphere and (ii) for those exposed to air before introducing them into the measurement system.
