Cathodes solid

In the diaphragm-cell process, a solid cathode (iron) is used where hydrogen is evolved [reaction (15.4)]. Porous asbestos diaphragms are used to prevent mixing of the catholyte and anolyte, but owing to the finite permeability of these diaphragms, the alkaline solution that is produced near the cathode stiU contains important levels of chloride ions as an impurity.

Manganese dioxide is a cheap, readily available material which is used worldwide as a solid cathode for primary liquid cells. During recent years,... [Pg.210]

Solid Cathode Cells. Solid cathode cells include lithium-manganese dioxide cells, lithium carbon inonofluoridc cells, lithium iron disulfide cells, and lithium—iodine cells. [Pg.185]

Here subscripts a and c denote anode and cathode respectively, iref is the reference exchange current density, y is the concentration dependence exponent, [ ] and [ ]ref represent the local species concentration and its reference concentration, respectively. Anode transfer current, Ra, is the source in the electric potential equations at the anode/electrolyte interface with positive sign on membrane (electrolyte) side and negative sign on solid (anode) side. Similarly, near the cathode interface, the source on membrane (electrolyte) side is negative of the cathode transfer current, Rc and that on solid (cathode) side is positive of Rc. The activation over-potentials, in Equations (5.35) and (5.36) are given by... [Pg.141]

There have been several papers and patents related to the use of SVO as a high-rate cathode material for the ICD application. In addition to the high-rate capability displayed by SVO as a cathode, this material also displays high-energy density relative to other solid cathode materials used in lithium batteries (see Table 13.1). Additionally, there has also been interest in SVO and related materials as rechargeable cathode materials for lithium and lithium-ion type cells. Literature related to both of these intended applications are reviewed in the following sections. [Pg.230]

These processes differ by the reaction which occur at the cathodes. At a solid cathode which is generally made of iron, hydrogen ions are discharged and simultaneously alkali hydroxide is formed in the electrolyte. At the mercury cathode metallic sodium or potassium is deposited which forms amalgam. This intermediary product is subsequently decomposed by water in a separate compartment whereby hydroxide and hydrogen are obtained while the liberated (denuded) mercury is returned into the electrolytic cell.

Because of the solid cathode material, these cells are used at moderate and low discharge rates. Their primary market is for memory backup applications. They are also used in watches, calculators, cameras, photoflash, motor drives, and toys. Li/manganese dioxide cells have a great performance at moderate and low discharge rates. Other advantages include high cell voltage and excellent storability even at elevated temperatures. Their major... [Pg.408]

The largest group of elements comprises those isolated from solution in the elemental form as a result of reduction, usually electrochemical. In acid solution, the electrolytic deposition of metal on a solid cathode is limited to noble and semi-noble metals. Trace analysis of copper and its compounds may serve as an example [100]. An anodic dissolution technique may be applied for the isolation of macroscopic amounts of copper. A sample in the form of a bar, plate, or wire is the anode in the electrolytic system. When current is passed through the electrolyte (nitric acid + persulphate), Cu is deposited on the graphite cathode, while most trace elements accumulate in the solution. In the trace analysis of platinum, the matrix has been also separated on a cathode [101]. [Pg.16]

Other solid cathode systems that have been widely investigated include those containing lithium cobalt oxide [12190-79-3], LiCo02 (51), vanadium pentoxide [1314-62-1], V2Os, and higher vanadium oxides, eg, V6013 (52,53). [Pg.584]

As seen in the previous section there are numerous types of lithium batteries. In this section, we shall look at the generic hazards of primary (with liquid or solid cathode) and rechargeable batteries. There is much controversy over the reactivity of several individual chemistry types. It is the authors opinion that there are inherent hazards associated with any battery type or energy source and in most situations the hazards and size are directly related. In a similar scenario, lithium batteries in general cannot be categorized into being more or less hazardous than any other chemistry without knowing the exact type and size of the systems to be compared.

The Li/Mn02 cell was one of the first lithium/solid cathode systems to be used commercially. [Pg.287]
