U. Vonsacken et al., COMPARATIVE THERMAL-STABILITY OF CARBON INTERCALATION ANODES AND LITHIUM METAL ANODES FOR RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERIES, Solid state ionics, 69(3-4), 1994, pp. 284-290
An accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) has been used to probe the ther
mal stability of LixC6 in electrolyte as a function of specific surfac
e ara, lithium content and solvent choice. The exotherm can be qualita
tively modelled based on the reaction which produces the passivating f
ilm on the carbon surface.
