Kinetics of charge transfer in lithium intercalation
- Fudan Univ., Shanghai (China). Dept. of Chemistry
Because of their efficiency as cathodic materials in secondary lithium batteries, the metal oxides intercalated with lithium are of great interest to many researchers. The lithium intercalation reaction may be observed by either an electrochemical or a chemical reaction mechanism. The authors previous Mossbauer Spectroscopic study of Li{sub y}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} confirmed that lithium intercalation in Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} both chemically and electrochemically have the same structure characterization. Although the intercalated compounds have been prepared, few charge transfer process studies between the lithium and metal oxides electrode have been reported. Deciphering the mechanism for charge transfer during electrochemical intercalation is highly significant for advancing the use of such cathodic materials. In the present work, a step potential experiment has been developed for investigating the charge transfer behavior of n-BuLi on Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} electrodes.
