Physicochemical properties of lithium salt solutions in mixtures of sulfolane with dimethyl disulfide

The physicochemical properties of lithium salt solutions in the mixtures of sulfolane with dimethyl disulfide were studied. It was established that the introduction of dimethyl disulfide (5–10% mas.) into sulfolane solutions of lithium perchlorate and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate leads to the increase in their specific ion conductivity, the decrease in the viscosity, and the reduction in the activation energies of the specific ion conductivity and the viscous flow.

Effect of lithium perchlorate concentration on lithium cation transference number in sulpholane solutions

To increase the accuracy of determining the lithium cation transference numbers we proposed to measure them at different values of the polarizing voltage and extrapolate the calculated values to the zero value of the polarizing voltage.

The lithium batteries based on the gidrolytic lignin

In this paper the possibility of applying of hydrolysis lignin as the lithium battery cathode material was demonstrated for the first time. Hydrolysis lignin features have been investigated by impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Electrochemical characterization was carried out at room temperature using 1M LiBF4 in ?-butyrolacton electrolyte system. The chemical composition of cathode materials upon battery discharge down to 0.9 V was studied by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Infrared spectroscopy.
