Observing the Effect of Architecture on Spiral and Bobbin Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li/SOCl<inf>2</inf>) Batteries with Temperature-Dependent Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
Acknowledgements: The authors declare no conflict of interest.Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) has been utilized as an in situ, non-destructive diagnostic tool for the comprehensive electrochemical characterization of lithium thionyl chloride (Li/SOCl2) batteries. Li/SOCl2 batteries come in various geometries or architectures tailored for the application area and required specifications. In this study, detailed EIS studies of spiral and bobbin-type Li/SOCl2 batteries are performed at different temperatures to investigate the impedance response, calculate the activation energy of various processes, and observe the effect of geometry. An extensive comparison between the two geometries reveals that the processes can be differentiated by their time constants and capacitances. It was observed that the current collector impedance masks the high-frequency response of bobbin-type at elevated temperatures with similar Li redox processes in the middle-frequency region. Additionally, transmission line fit is performed on the bobbin type to investigate diffusion-related cathodic processes.</jats:p
