M. Aubay et al., MICROELECTRODE COMPARATIVE-STUDIES OF THE LI LI+ COUPLE IN LIALCL4/SO2CL2 ELECTROLYTE AND LIALCL4, 3SO2 SOLVATE/, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 140(4), 1993, pp. 879-884
Inert microelectrode comparative studies of the Li/Li+ couple in both
LiAlCl4/SO2Cl2 and LiAlCl4, 3SO2 solvate electrolytes are undertaken u
sing chronoamperometry and chronopotentiometry. Lithium deposits grow
according to an instantaneous 3D-nucleation process. The solvate prese
nts the best behavior regarding faradaic efficiency and corrosion rate
of electrodeposited lithium. The SEI layer influence, formed during t
he first reduction of the cathodic material before plating the lithium
, is discussed.
