Microcalorimetric Measurements of the Solvent Contribution to the Entropy Changes upon Electrochemical Lithium Bulk Deposition

Abstract

A strongly positive entropy of reaction for the bulk deposition of Li can be explained by the desolvation of Li+ ions, as revealed by microcalorimetric studies. From this the coordination number of Li+ can be derived. The positive entropy leads to cooling of the electrode, which may influence lithium plating in lithium-ion batteries.
