Abstract

General: In previous works, it was found that lithium is not generally stable in aprotic solvents but does react with such solvents as PC = (propylene carbonate) and DMF = (dimethyl formamide). It has also been found that the trace water present in these organic solvents can lead to both film formation and decreasing limiting currents. Thus, the stability of the lithium in aprotic organic solvents has turned out to be a complex problem and a considerable amount of basic work remains to be done before practicality is achieved. It does appear, however, that the presence of SO2 stabilizes the Li-anode in most aprotic solvents.
