Here we report results of a UHV study on the interaction of an Ionic Liquid (IL) with graphite(0001) as a model study for the solid|electrolyte interphase (SEI) in Li-ion batteries. The interaction of mono- and multilayers of the battery-relevant IL 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [BMP][TFSI] with pristine/lithiated graphite was investigated, employing X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS) and dispersion corrected density functional calculations (DFT-D). The measurements reveal that intact ion pairs adsorb on graphite, while deposition on lithiated graphite at 300 K (>230 K) leads to instantaneous deintercalation of Li+. In general, contact of the IL with Li, either after deintercalation from lithiated graphite or after deposition from the vacuum side, results in the decomposition of the IL adlayer (Li3N, Li2S, etc.). The decomposition is different for multilayers. We will also compare the observed products with that in the electrochemical SEI in [Li][TFSI]/[BMP][TFSI].
