rechargeability - 2024 ARCADIA

Question

LIBs lose this property because electrode material is gradually lost to a passivating solid-electrolyte interface on repeated cycling. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this property possessed by secondary batteries, as opposed to disposable primary batteries. The redox reactions of batteries with this property can be reversed to restore their original state.

ANSWER: rechargeability [accept word forms, like rechargeable]

[10h] This by-far most-common anode material for lithium-ion batteries is preferred for its low cost and stability to repeated charging cycles, since it reversibly intercalates lithium.

ANSWER: graphite

[10m] Corrosion of a cathode made of this element due to a "shuttling effect" is the primary barrier to the rechargeability of next-gen batteries named for lithium and this element. This element bonds to lead in galena and bonds to zinc in zincblende.

ANSWER: sulfur [or S]
