Abstract

Calorimetry of the electrochemical cells, batteries, and their individual active materials is required to obtain quantitative thermal and thermodynamic data. The two most important experimental calorimetric devices, namely the isothermal heat conduction calorimeter (IHC) and the accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC), will be introduced and examples for the measurements that are possible with these devices will be shown. Moreover, it will be demonstrated how thermal ...
