Many ionic liquids (ILs) are known for their high electrochemical stabilities and therefore, in combination with Li+ and Mg2+ salts, are regarded as promising electrolytes for lithium-ion or magnesium batteries, respectively. In order to improve these batteries, a fundamental understanding of the interaction between the IL and said metal salts is necessary which determines the stability of the electrolyte. The influence of Li+ and Mg2+ cations on the decomposition of the IL N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (BMP TFSI) is studied by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS). Thus, volatile decomposition products can be detected during cyclovoltammetric measurements. We show that the addition of LiTFSI and MgTFSI2 diminishes the stability window of the IL at both positive and negative potentials. In the presence of the metal cations, products of the TFSI anion decomposition are detected during the negative potential scan, whereas no BMP reduction is observed. Further effects of the metal salts on the IL degradation in comparison to the behavior of the pure IL will be discussed.
