Abstract
The small signal a‐c impedance of the cell
has been measured at room temperature as a function of frequency from
to 
at various open‐circuit voltages. The diffusion equations have been solved for the appropriate finite boundary conditions, and analysis of the impedance data by the complex plane method yields values for the chemical diffusion coefficient, the component diffusion coefficient, the partial ionic conductivity of lithium, and the thermodynamic enhancement factor for 
as a function of 
. The films of 
were prepared by vacuum evaporation and were largely amorphous to x‐rays. The chemical diffusion coefficient has a value of 
at 
, increasing to 
at 
. At short times 
the interfacial charge transfer reaction is important, but at longer times the rate of lithium injection is determined by the diffusion kinetics.
