M. Ishikawa et al., IN-SITU SCANNING VIBRATING ELECTRODE TECHNIQUE FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF INTERFACE BETWEEN LITHIUM ELECTRODE AND ELECTROLYTES CONTAINING ADDITIVES, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 141(12), 1994, pp. 120000159-120000161
New inorganic additives, tin (II) iodide (Snl(2)) and aluminum iodide
(All(3)), improved the charge/discharge cycling efficiency of lithium
(Li) electrodes in propylene carbonate electrolyte containing lithium
perchlorate as the electrolytic salt. The synergistic effect of All(3)
with and methylfuran on the cycling efficiency is also reported. The
electrochemical behavior of the Li electrode/organic electrolyte inter
face was investigated by an in situ scanning vibrating electrode techn
ique. The relationship between the Li rechargeability and the interfac
ial behavior of the Li electrode in the organic electrolyte in the abs
ence and the presence of the additives is discussed.
