Reversible electrode reactions of difficult-to-dissolve materials in nonaqueous electrolytes (a contribution to the knowledge on potential cathodes for secondary high-energy-density batteries with special consideration of graphite compounds (in German)

Reversible electrochemical reactions of copper, silver, mercury, and titanium electrodes in solutions of lithium bromide or lithium iodide in propylene carbonate were studied by the potentiometric triangular voltage method. Results showed that copper and silver halogens dissolved in excessive LiX in a complex manner, and that this tendency was minimized for Hg and Pb and not at all pronounced for Ti. Oxidation of electronically conductive active graphite was reversible in numerous nonaqueous solutions. A graphite anodic reaction was proven in organic electrolytic solutions of MX/PC (MX = LiClO/sub 4/, NaBF/sub 4/, KPF/sub 6/) by the oxidation of stoichiometric graphite compounds C/sub n/X with n greater than or equal to 24.
