Abstract

Polymeric carbon ware prepared at various temperatures with variable accessible pore volume was filled with lithium by submerging in molten LiCl at 700°C. Using Li(p,α) nuclear reaction analysis the concentration profile and the volume density of Li were measured. It was found that they were highest for polymeric carbon samples prepared at 650°C.
