Lithium-Boron Alloy Anodes for Molten Salt Batteries (II)

Abstract

The lithium-boron alloy system has been studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), metallography, and X-ray analysis. The 'alloy' is a two-phase material, consisting of a high-melting crystalline compound with a stoichiometry of Li7B6 into which has been wicker excess elemental lithium. The excess lithium, while being held immobile by the solid li7B6 matrix, is available for anodic anodic discharge in molten salt batteries.
