Abstract

The influence of water, oxygen, and nitrogen contamination on the surface chemistry of lithium in γ-butyrolactone (BL) solutions was studied. Both water and oxygen contamination in BL solutions seem to have a pronounced effect on surface films formed in the Li-BL systems because they react with lithium to form hydroxide or oxides that attack BL nucleophilically. Nitrogen contamination seems to have a marginal (if any) effect on the surface chemistry of the Li-BL system in spite of the fact that BL is reactive with lithium nitride.
