Abstract

The anodic behavior of lithium in was investigated at ambient temperatures under well‐defined hydrodynamic conditions using a flow channel. The electrode showed a linear polarization behavior up to a mass‐transfer limited anodic current density. The rate of the parallel chemical corrosion of lithium was determined over a range of current densities, flow rates, and concentrations using a gas coulometer to measure the total rate of hydrogen evolution. The corrosion rate approaches zero linearly as the current density approaches the diffusion‐limited level. On the basis of electrode resistance and efficiency, the plane‐parallel electrode configuration was judged suitable for batteries of the lithium‐water type.
