Electrochemical and Structural Studies of Petroleum Coke in Carbonate-Based Electrolytes
The behavior of petroleum coke (Conoco) was examined in a propylene carbonate/ethylene carbonate/dimethylcarbonate (1/1/3 volume) mixture with LiCF3SO3 as the lithium salt. The thermodynamics and the kinetics of the lithium intercalation/deintercalation processes in the carbon matrix were investigated by galvanostatic curves and by cyclic voltammetry X-ray measurements were also done.
