Analysis of transport in a mixed electrolyte has previously predicted significant composition gradients in the LiCl-KCl electrolyte of high temperature Li/S batteries. Composition gradients in quenched electrolyzed LiCl-KCl eutectic contained in yttria felt are measured with high distance resolution by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The reported results include composition profiles of LiCl-KCl contained in porous Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and electrolyzed in three cells, two with solid Li-Al electrodes and one with a porous Li-Al anode.
