Solvent Mixing Effects on the Electrode Characteristics of Secondary Li / TiS2 Cells

Abstract
Charge‐discharge characteristics of Li negative and positive electrodes have been studied in solutions of tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1,3‐dioxolane (DOL), and their mixture. Solvent mixing effects on the charge‐discharge characteristics were investigated. Charge‐discharge potentials at the Li electrode in were more stable than those in and , and they showed the least variation with the cycles. Ionic behavior in the solutions is discussed through the data of current‐potential curves of the electrodes and electrolytic conductivity of the solutions. With respect to the electrode, charging efficiency in THF was seemingly the best, but the efficiency variation with the cycle in DOL‐THF was very small. It was concluded that advantages of solvent mixing should be evaluated totally in cells.
