The effect of storage time on the cyclability of lithium electrodes in an ionic liquid electrolyte, namely 0.5m LiBF4 in N-methyl-N-propyl pyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide, [C(3)mpyr(+)][FSI-], was investigated. A chemical interaction was observed which is time dependent and results in a morphology change of the Li surface due to build up of passivation products over a 12-day period. The formation of this layer significantly impacts on the Li electrode resistance before cycling and the charging/discharging process for symmetrical Li vertical bar 0.5m LiBF4 in [C(3)mpyr(+)][FSI-]vertical bar Li coin cells. Indeed it was found that introducing a rest period between cycling, and thereby allowing the chemical interaction between the Li electrode and electrolyte to take place, also impacted on the charging/discharging process. For all Li surface treatments the electrode resistance decreased after cycling and was due to significant structural rearrangement of the surface layer. These results suggest that careful electrode pretreatment in a real battery system will be required before operation.
