This communication presents the results of an investigation of the corrosion of lithium in solutions of the system LiCl-LiOH-H/sub 2/O at 298 K. The reaction rate of lithium with the electrolyte was calculated on the basis of volumetric measurements. The investigation was carried out in a standard electrochemical cell furnished with a branch pipe for the collection of hydrogen. The results demonstrated that in the absence of polarization the lithium corrosion rate decreased as the concentration of lithium chloride in the electrolyte increased, and also that at lower concentrations of LiOH, additions of LiCl exerted a stronger influence on the corrosion rate of the metal.
