The cycling behavior of Li4Ti5O12/LiCoO2 cells in the ionic liquid electrolytes based on 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (BMP-TFSI) with different additives, such as vinylene carbonate (VC), 1,3-propane sultone (PS) and their mixture is investigated. The cell assembled with BMP-TFSI containing 10wt% VC/PS (1:1 by weight) exhibits reversible cycling behavior with good capacity retention. FTIR studies reveal that the electrochemically stable solid electrolyte interphase forms on Li4Ti5O12 electrode in the presence of a mixture of VC and PS during cycling. The additives hardly affect the composition, thickness and stability of the surface film formed on the LiCoO2 cathode.
