Abstract
A mathematical diffusion model, which takes into account the electrochemical behavior of partially-discharged thin-layer electrodes made of intercalation materials upon interruption of circuit, is put forward. The applicability of the model is tested by the example of Li x V2O5 films. According to theoretical calculations and experimental data, the equilibrium potential of the films studied depends practically linearly on the degree of intercalation with a slope of –0.8 V for intercalation degrees of 0.3–0.7. The chemical diffusion coefficient of lithium in the films is equal to 1.5 × 10–11 cm2/s and changes insignificantly at these intercalation degrees.
