The present study is focused on the use of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs), due to their relatively low viscosity and relatively high conductivity in contrast to their pyrrolidinium [1] or piperidinium [2] counterparts. Binary mixtures with various molar ratios were formulated using two ILs with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation, [EMIm]+, coupled with bis(trifluosulfonyl)imide [FSI]- or tetrafluoroborate [BF4]- anions. Taking into account our differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) investigations as well as viscosity and conductivity measurements on various binary mixtures of imidazolium based ILs,we selected the EMImFSI/EMImBF4 (1:1 molar ratio) mixture, as it exhibited only a glass transition at -97 °C, relatively low viscosity of 33.0 mP s and relatively good conductivity of 12.1 mS cm-1 (at 20 °C). To uphold the low-temperature performance of carbon-based electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) in 1:1 EMImFSI/EMIMBF4 electrolyte, we applied electrodes made of mesoporous materials: SC2A carbon black (by Cabot, SDFT = 1502 m2 g-1; Vmeso = 1.05 cm3 g-1) and a home-made carbon [3] MP98B (SDFT = 1556 m2 g-1;Vmeso = 1.30 cm3 g-1) having well-defined mesoporous with average size of 3.5 nm. The capacitor based on MP98B demonstrated higher capacitance (140 F g-1** at 20 °C) compared to the one with electrodes made from SC2A (115 F g-1** at 20 °C). Both EDLCs operated down to -50 ºC, while at this temperature, the cell based on MP98B exhibited lower resistance (40 Ω vs. 151 Ω) and higher gravimetric capacitance (106 F g-1** vs. 73 F g-1**).

**capacitance values are expressed per average active mass in one electrode.
