Development and implementation of a high temperature electrochemical cell for lithium batteries

An electrochemical cell designed to perform high temperature lithium battery tests has been developed adapting a typical Swageloko cell. The high temperature cell is intended to work in a wide temperature range, namely from room temperature up to 300 degrees C. It has been successfully tested at 250 degrees C using LiFePO4 as cathode, LiTFSI as molten salt electrolyte and metallic lithium as anode. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
