Question

A solid-state lithium-ion battery has the overall reaction scheme:

2Li (s) + I2 (s) --> 2LiI (s)  Ecell= 2.6V

  1. Write the overall half-reactions and state which are happening at the cathode and the anode. Which are oxidative and reductive?
  2. Assuming the temperature of this battery was 298K, what is the expected free energy of the reaction? Is the reaction spontaneous or not?
  3. Draw a diagram of this cell. Label each segment of the electrode, including each relevant reaction and the direction of carriers through a closed cell.
