LITHIUM-NICKEL FLUORIDE SECONDARY BATTERY INVESTIGATION.
Abstract
Electrolyte studies were conducted which included equivalent conductance measurements, viscosities, densities, and infrared spectrograms. Nickel fluoride electrodes were prepared using varying ratios of NiF2, acetylene black, Type 38 graphite, and starch binder. The porosity of the electrodes resulting from each mix was measured using solvent absorption. The acetylene black has the most significant effect on the porosity. Cycling of laboratory cells has shown that a constant potential charge of 3.60 volts is insufficient to return all the capacity removed, even at shallow cycle depths. The use of graphite as the conductive diluent in the lithium electrode has resulted in a higher charge polarization of the negative electrode. (Author)
