Abstract

The article presents some new results of the studies of corrosion processes in lithium battery systems with non-aqueous electrolytes. The following processes are considered: electrochemical corrosion of positive and negative electrodes, corrosion of structural materials, and electrochemical and chemical decomposition of non-aqueous electrolytes, which occurs simultaneously with the main electrochemical process. The main attention is paid to the role of corrosion processes on current collectors of current sources. Corrosion processes on aluminum current collector and stainless steel current collector for positive electrodes of lithium batteries are particularly considered. An important role of corrosion in the degradation of the lithium battery is emphasized. Case studies on corrosion in positive electrodes and lithium electrode are mentioned. Considerable attention is paid to the contact corrosion in aircraft, with an emphasis on the need for further studies of this process. The proposed corrosion mechanisms are considered.
