Abstract

The methods of coulometric titration and electrode impedance spectroscopy are used in studying the behavior of carbon film electrodes free of binding and conducting additives in the course of reversible lithium intercalation from nonaqueous electrolytes. The electrodes with the high and low degrees of graphitization are studied. The measurements are performed in the frequency range from 105 to 10−2 Hz with the lithium concentration in intercalate varied from 0.025 mol/cm3 (corresponds to LiC6) to a state free of lithium. The factors responsible for the hysteresis in charge-discharge curves, the versions of equivalent circuits (EC) suitable for modeling the impedance spectra of Li x C6 electrodes, the dependence of EC parameters and the lithium diffusion coefficient on the concentration are discussed. It is shown that all experimental impedance spectra can be adequately modeled by a common general EC. The concentration dependences are consistent with the earlier data of pulse methods. The diffusion coefficient varies approximately from 10−12 to 10−13 cm2/s.
