Research and development of a high capacity nonaqueous secondary battery. Quarterly report 3, April-June 1965. [Electrochemical behavior in electrolytes with various solvents]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7065007

Electrochemical behavior in electrolytes employing as solvents, propylene carbonate, butyrolactone, dimethylformamide, and acetonitrile, was examined. The cathodic reduction of silver chloride and cupric fluoride electrodes was studied in these electrolytes. The cathodic behavior observed at constant current on various metal surfaces was studied in propylene carbonate and dimethylformamide solutions of several salts with primary emphasis on lithium salts and on the ability to electrodeposit lithium. Results of preliminary gas chromatographic analysis of propylene carbonate are reported.
