Abstract

The thermal stability of lithiated graphite in the presence of solvents, electrolytes and LiPF(6) salt was studied using C80 micro-calorimeter. The presence of cyclic carbonates or linear carbonates increases the activity of Li(x)C(6)-solvent coexisting system, especially for the Li(x)C(6)-linear carbonates one. LiPF(6) was detected that it increases the activity greatly of its coexisting system with lithiated graphite. The coexisting system of Li(x)C(6) with the electrolyte of LiPF(6)/ethylene carbonate+diethyl carbonate shows less thermal stability, which is attributed to the activity between diethyl carbonate and Li(x)C(6). This also agrees with the experiment result of Li(x)C(6)-diethyl carbonate coexisting system.
