Use of lithium metal as an electrode in high energy density battries is due to :
The solubility of metal halides depends on their nature, lattice enthalpy and hydration enthalpy of the individual ions. Amongst flurides of alkali metals, the lowest solubility of LiF in water is due to (a) Ionic nature fo lithium fluoride (b) high lattice enthalpy (c) high hydration enthalpy for lithium ion (d) low ionisation enthalpy of lithium atom
Lithium is generally used as an electrode in high energy density batteries. This is because:
The polymer used as electrodes in batteries is
