M. Jean et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF PETROLEUM COKE IN CARBONATE-BASED ELECTROLYTES, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 142(7), 1995, pp. 2122-2125
The behavior of petroleum coke (Conoco) was examined in a propylene ca
rbonate/ethylene carbonate/dimethylcarbonate (1/1/3 volume) mixture wi
th LiCF3SO3 as the lithium salt. The thermodynamics and the kinetics o
f the lithium intercalation/deintercalation processes in the carbon ma
trix were investigated by galvanostatic curves and by cyclic voltammet
ry X-ray measurements were also done.
