Positive electrodes structure after formation

The striking example is the reactivity of lithium with IE-VI layered compounds such as the decomposition of Li intercalated InSe with the formation of lithium selenide, Li2Se, observed by Raman spectroscopy on specimens prepared by various intercalation methods. The insertion of Li into M0S2 appears more stable with the occurrence of a superlattice formation at x(Li) 0.25 but a structural transformation from 2H-M0S2 (P-phase) to IT-M0S2 (a-phase) occurs for x l. This process is irreversible but the intercalation-deintercalation reaction is possible with the IT-M0S2, which could act as a positive electrode in rechargeable lithium batteries after formation of the cells. 

Immersion of Pt(lll) and Ag(lll) surfaces into aqueous ionic solutions at controlled pH and electrode potential results in the formation of a highly ordered chemisorbed layer, an adlattice [25, 26], For example, the Pt(lll) surface was examined by LEED and Auger spectroscopy after immersion into aqueous KBr and CaBr2 solutions [27], The pH and electrode potentials are both important variables in regard to surface layer structure and composition pH was controlled at 4, 6, 8 and 10 potential was controlled at 50 mV increments from the negative limit due to H + reduction to the positive limit of 02 evolution. Contrary to the traditional suppositions [28], the adsorbed particles are present primarily in the form of neutral atoms (Br) rather than as anions (Br ). The adsorption process is...
