Popis: The electrochemical stability of LiSbF6 and LiPF6 in aprotic organic solvents has been investigated. Electrochemical studies, conductivity measurements, and open-circuit stability tests were conducted on LiSbF6 in tetrahydrofuran and sulfolane. Cyclic voltammetric studies of SbF6(-) were compared with those of AsF6(-) and PF6(-) anions. Sb(V) was reduced to Sb(III), and then to Sb(0). AsF6(-) was reduced to AsF3, while no reduction of PF6(-) was observed. The reduction products of AsF6(-) and SbF6(-) passivated the glassy carbon electrode, presumably due to LiF precipitation. Peak potentials were observed to shift in the positive direction as a function of concentration. This was accounted for on the basis of a follow-up chemical reaction.
