Lithium thermodynamic parameters, data

Polymers - The PS, PDMS, polyhexylisocyanate (PHIC), and polylso-prene (PI) samples had been extensively characterized to determine molecular weights, molecular sizes, and thermodynamic parameters (5, 6, 7 ). The samples were anionlcally polymerized using butyl lithium as the initiator. The pertinent data are shown in Table L Polylsobutylene/PIB polymers were obtained by fractionation of commercial polymers and their molecular weights were measured (8). 

The interest in the analysis of the dependencies of equilibrium potential on composition of cathode materials for lithium-metal cells appeared in the late-1970s [2-8] where phase composition and phase transitions of oxides and hal-cogenides of transient metals upon lithiation were discussed. The usefulness of the simultaneous scrutiny of the equilibrium potential together with its tanpera-ture coefficient was first proved in several works [9-13] published soon after. The approach to the calculation of kinetic parameters using the thermodynamic data, which is the subject of this chapter, has been proposed [14-16] later. In early 2000, new interest in the method has arisen, both in the thermodynamics of the processes within the electrodes for lithium-ion cells [17-22] and in the connection between thermodynamic functions and kinetic parameters [23]. In the series of recent works, M. Bazant [24] described the development of the fundamental theory of electrochemical kinetics and charge transfer applied to lithium iron phosphate (LFP).
