Abstract

Published data on the lithium–tellurium phase diagram and on thermodynamic properties of liquid alloys and solid phases formed are summarized and comprehensively analyzed in connection with prospects for using tellurium and its compounds and composites in various energy conversion systems involving lithium. The results of studying the thermodynamic properties of lithium tellurides by different methods are compared. The results of the main studies dealing with the use of tellurium in chemical current sources (CCSs) of various designs are briefly considered.
