Comparative Thermal-Stability of Carbon Intercalation Anodes and Lithium Metal Anodes for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries
An accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) has been used to probe the thermal stability of LixC6 in electrolyte as a function of specific surface ara, lithium content and solvent choice. The exotherm can be qualitatively modelled based on the reaction which produces the passivating film on the carbon surface.
