Abstract

The electrodes in both Li/SOCl2 cells and BCX cells were studied by ac impedance spectroscopy.The results indicate that the resistance of the electrode passive layer increased with the storage time,then became stabilized in both kinds of cells.But the electrode resistance decreased a lot after adding BrCl into the cells.The resistance of the Li electrode decreased about a half to that without BrCl,and the value of the glassy carbon electrode decreased from about 100 kΩ to 2 kΩ.The huge resistance of the glassy carbon electrode indicates that it is the control electrode of the cell.

Keywords

BCX cells, Li/SOCl2 cells, ac impedance, the glassy carbon electrode
