Effect of Electrolyte Water Content On The Anodic Passivation of Lithium in 1M LiC104-Propylene Carbonate

摘要

This work deals with the effect of aqueous contamination on the anode passivation of Li in 1M LiC10 4-propylene carbonate. Passivation occurs more readily with increasing electrolyte water content. Preliminary evidence suggests that anodic passivation may be due to anodic enrichment and eventual precipitation of LiC10 4 in the superficial anolyte layer.
