Well-defined spinel lithium-titanium-oxide, Li4Ti5O12 (111), which is a promising anode material for a lithium-ion batteries, was generated by a solid state reaction (LiOH + TiO2 (111)) and its crystallinity and stoichiometry were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. To mimic the electrode|electrolyte interface (EEI) (crucial for the battery performance), we vapor deposited a monolayer of the battery-relevant ionic liquid (solvent/electrolyte) 1-butyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium bis(tri-fluoro-methyl-sulfonyl)amide ([BMP][TFSA]) on Li4Ti5O12 (111) at 300 K. XPS reveals that [BMP][TFSA] is partially decomposed, forming products such as LiF, LixS, LixSO, SOx and LiN3. Post-deposition of 1 ML of Li on a ([BMP][TFSA]) adlayer at 300 K increases the amount of decomposition products in the adlayer. After pre-deposition of 1 ML of Li on pristine Li4Ti5O12 (111) at 300 K, XP spectra reveal that lithium diffuses (intercalates) into the bulk, most likely forming a Li-rich LixTi5O12 (4<x<7) phase. Future work will concentrate on the interaction of [BMP][TFSA] with both the Li-poor (Li4Ti5O12) and the Li-rich (LixTi5O12) phases in different temperature ranges.
