HIGH-ENERGY BATTERY SYSTEM STUDY.
Abstract
Several prospective electrode materials were examined in half-cell studies with a variety of electrolytes: Electrodeposited Li showed favorable potential and low polarization, but the measured efficiencies did not exceed 60%; Mg showed a high efficiency, but passivation phenomena were observed which will cause delay action; The Al potential is not negative enough for this anode to be coupled with solid cathodes in highenergy batteries; AgO, MnO2, NiF2, and NiCl2 were mixed with carbon and tested as cathodes; A periodic current interruptor was constructed because it is essential to distinguish between activation and electrolyte resistance polarization (IR drop).
