Density and electrical conductivity of molten LiL-LiCl-Kl eutectic
A low-melting salt mixture which possesses a high electrical conductivity, a large decomposition potential, and is chemically stable, will provide a useful electrolyte medium in several areas of molten salt electrochemical technology. The eutectic mixture 59 mole per cent (M/O) LiI-8.5 M/O LiCl-32.5 M/O Ki (melting point 264/sup 0/C) reported by Johnson and Foster (1969) is one of the lowest melting ternary alkali-halide systems known to date. This low-melting and lithium-rich salt electrolyte is being utilized in some high temperature battery systems with a lithium anode. In this work the density and the electrical conductivity of molten LiI-LiCl-Ki eutectic are reported over a temperature range of 273/sup 0/-454/sup 0/C. 10 references.
