In Li-ion batteries the so-called solid|electrolyte interphase (SEI) is formed at the electrode due to decomposition of the electrolyte. As it plays a crucial role for the function of the battery, a thorough understanding of the interface is needed. We employ density functional theory calculations to study the interface between the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide used as electrolyte in Li-ion batteries and different inorganic substrates. First, the geometric and electronic adsorption properties of the IL at low coverages and within the monolayer structure at low temperature are discussed [1]. Furthermore, the impact of elevated temperature is taken into account by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. In order to shed some light onto the initial steps of the SEI formation, interactions and reactions between the IL and Li atoms at the interface are considered as well [2].
