The room temperature stability of the Li interface in the presence of 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium imide and methide was followed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for a period of 112 days. We found that while Li foil initially reacted with both ionic liquids, the interracial film on Li formed in the imide-based electrolyte stabilized at an interfacial resistance of 1.5 ks cm 2, while that for the methidebased electrolyte rose to an interracial resistance value exceeding 50 kQ, cm 2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
