Abstract
The dischargability of Li-B alloy is comparable with that of pure lithium in PC-LiClO4 at 23° C. The alloy may find a useful application where safety considerations permit sacrificing some coulombic capacity versus unsupported lithium. Electrochemical measurements of the amount of lithium anodically oxidized at the lithium potential suggest that the alloy is a mixture of elemental lithium plus a Li-B compound whose stoichiometry is in the vicinity of ‘Li7B6’.
