ORGANIC DEPOLARIZED PRIMARY BATTERIES
Abstract
A survey was made of experimental and commercial carbon blacks for use with m-dinitrobenzene in magnesium cells. The specification evolved listed low density, large surface area, high electrical conductivity and a maximum volume of voids in the compressed carbon black. These conditions demand a fluffy carbon black which, in the presence of electrolyte, retains a measure of structure adequate for massive material transfer and diffusion processes. No commercial carbon black was found ideally suited for this cathode system. One available pure acetylene carbon black can be adapted, however, by means of an intensive mechanical opening process, especially with simultaneous introduction of a small quantity of V2O5.
