LITHIUM-NICKEL HALIDE SECONDARY BATTERY INVESTIGATION.
Abstract
Experiments were conducted in which the amount of sulfur doping of the NiCl2 was varied from 0.01% to 0.08%. Electrodes were also prepared having 0.04% sulfur and 0.05% MgCl2 co-dopants. The effects of co-doping has been found to be additive. Electrodes containing 0.08% sulfur doping were made at 90% NiCl2-10% graphite and 10% NiCl2-90% graphite. The polarization of a 90% NiCl2 electrode is approximately three times that of a 10% NiCl2 electrode. Polarographic tests were conducted on PC-AlCl3.LiCl/Cl2, PC-KPF6, and DMSO-KPF6 electrolytes. Both PC electrolytes show a decomposition potential below the OCV of the nickel halide-lithium couple. (Author)
