Composition gradient during electrolysis in mixtures analogous to molten salt battery electrolytes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7289660
Molten salt mixtures are attractive electrolytes for more efficient batteries. Li/S batteries with LiCl--KCl mixture as electrolyte have recently been developed. Calculations based on mass transport at electrode--electrolyte interface and in the electrolyte lead to a prediction of a concentration gradient between the electrodes. Experiments in the analogous potassium nitrate--silver nitrate system that confirm the results of the calculations are reported. The material consists of the descriptions of slides given at a slide presentation. The slides, however, are not included. (RWR)
