Online Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (OEMS) is capable of monitoring both partial and total gas pressure of Li-ion cells. Herein, the development and validation of an OEMS system along with detailed calibration protocols and limits of detection sensitivity are showcased. A full cell based on LiCoO<sub>2</sub>/Graphite cell during overcharge to 4.9 V <i>vs.</i> Li/Li<sup>+</sup> at 50 °C is investigated and the results are compared to LiCoO<sub>2</sub>/LiFePO<sub>4</sub> and Graphite/LiFePO<sub>4</sub> cells in order to differentiate between gases forming at the anode and cathode. The release of O<sub>2</sub> from Li<sub>x</sub>CoO<sub>2</sub> (x < 0.4) during both charge and discharge demonstrates that its degradation is dependent on composition rather than potential. Combining partial and total pressure measurements provides a clear advantage when detailing major and minor gas reactions as well as when determining unaccounted gases. The methodology presented herein provides a technical basis for deeper understanding of degradation reactions in batteries and electrochemical systems alike.

The thermodynamical data of solid aluminium lanthanum chloride LaAlCl6 have been obtained by determination of the decomposition equilibria from total pressure measurements. The melting diagram was determined by DTA. The chemical transport of LaCl3 with AlCl3 is suggesting the existence of the gaseous complex LaAl3Cl12. The data are:ΔH(LaAlCl6f,298) =-427,1 ±2,5 kcal/mol, S°(LaAlCl6,f,298) = 61 ±2,5 cal/K-mol,Δ(LaAl3Cl12,g ,298) =-712 ± 7 kcal/mol, S°(LaAl3Cl12,g,298) = 205 ± 3 cal/K-mol.

The pure ternary phases on the line Yb2O3-SeO2 in thermodynamical equilibrium have been synthesized by solid state reaction and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction and IR-spectroscopy. There exist three phases: Yb2SeO5, Yb2Se3O9 and Yb2Se4O11, the last one with a homogeneiety range extending a higher SeO2-content. The thermal decompositions have been determined by total pressure measurements, and the thermodynamical data of the compounds have been derived. The phase diagram and the phase barogram have been established using the results of thermal analysis and total pressure measurements.
