Investigation of Methods to Eliminate Voltage Delay in Li/SOC12 Cells.

Abstract

The film growth on lithium metal samples stored in LiA1C14/SOC12 electrolyte was measured as a function of storage temperature and lithium area to electrolyte volume (A/V) ratio. Micropolarization techniques were used to determine the capacitance and resistance of solid LiC1 films on lithium electrodes, and from these values the thickness and resistivity of the films were calculated. When measured at higher temperature, the resistivity of LiC1 layers was found to be lower. For higher A/V ratios, the film was thicker. The salt Li2B10C110 was found to have lower thermal stability than anticipated, and underwent partial decomposition when heated above 200 C to remove tetrahydrofuran following purification by crystallization from this solvent.
