The electrochemical performance of graphite/lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) cells in N-methoxymethyl-N,N-dimethylethylammonium bis(trifluoromethane-sulfonyl) imide (MMDMEA-TFSI)-containing electrolytes is significantly enhanced by the formation of a fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC)-derived protective film on an anode during the first cycle. The electrochemical intercalation of MMDMEA cations into the graphene layer is readily visualized by ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Moreover, differences in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of graphite electrodes in cells charged with and without FEC in dimethyl carbonate (DMC)/MMDMEA-TFSI are clearly discernible. Conclusively, the presence of FEC in MMDMEA-TFSI-containing electrolytes leads to a remarkable enhancement of discharge capacity retention for graphite/LiCoO2 cells as compared with ethylene carbonate (EC) and vinylene carbonate (VC).
