Journal of Electrochemistry
The impedance change of both lithium and carbon electrodes during the process of discharge was studied by AC impedance spectroscopy.It shows that the impedance of lithium electrode at initial stage was reduced by 80%～90% and kept nearly unchanged after wards;the carbon electrode impedance initially did not change much but quickly increased just before the end of discharge.The improvement of voltage delay might be related with the higher open-circuit voltage of BCX cell.It is suggested that the voltage delay problem may be solved by the application of supercapacitor.
