Electrochemical alloying

These compounds may reduce the reactivity of lithium and make the lithium deposition morphology smoother as a result of the spontaneous electrochemical alloy formation during the charging of lithium on the anode. The lithium was plated on...

The application of concepts discussed in this chapter can be extended onto alloy electrodes where insertion processes can occur, to electrochemical alloys formation, etc. 

The explanations based on the crystal structure model of Kossel and Stranski of Fig. 1-35 still require detailed investigations. The development of scanning tunneling microscopy provides a valuable in situ tool to follow the structural details of electrochemical alloy corrosion. Although mechanistic studies of this kind require complicated investigations and a careful preparation technique for single crystal surfaces the application of these methods promises progress in the near future. 

Aluminum is an interesting anode material since it can make a series of solid solutions and intermetaUic compounds with Li (one of which recently discovered [126]), culminating at a capacity of 2235 mAh/g for the Li9Al4 compound of the equilibrium phase diagram. Moreover, Al is the 3rd most abundant element in the Earth s crust and it is non-toxic and relatively cheap. Actually, room temperature (RT) electrochemical alloying seems to be limited to the P-LiAl intermetaUic compound, corresponding to a capacity of 993 mAh/g. p-LiAl crystaUizes in the...
