BU-204: How do Lithium Batteries Work?
For nearly two decades, different types of graphitized carbons have been used as the negative electrode in secondary lithium-ion batteries for modern-day energy storage. 1 The advantage of using carbon is due to the ability to intercalate lithium ions at a very low electrode potential, close to that of the metallic lithium electrode (−3.045 V vs. …

Surface layer on negative electrodes was investigated for LiPF 6 /EC–DMC electrolyte. In-situ X-ray reflectivity analyses etc revealed a surface layer (other than SEI). • The layer was formed by a reductive decomposition of LiPF 6 around 2.6 V vs Li. Such an inactive
We present optical in situ investigations of lithium-ion dynamics in lithium iron phosphate based positive electrodes. The change in reflectivity of these cathodes during charge and discharge is used to estimate apparent diffusion coefficients for the lithiation and delithiation process of the entire electrode.

Unfortunately, the practical applications of Li–O2 batteries are impeded by poor rechargeability. Here, for the first time we show that superoxide radicals generated at the cathode during discharge react with carbon that contains activated double bonds or aromatics to form epoxy groups and carbonates, which limits the rechargeability of Li–O2 …
