A THIN-PLATE BATTERY. SUPPLEMENT TO THINFILM MONOTRONICS.

Abstract

The program is directed toward demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing a liquid-ammonia-activated system to produce a practical high-power output, reserve, primary battery. The liquid-ammonia-activated system, upon which this program is based, contains as the electrochemical couple a light, active metal anode and a reducible organic nitro compound cathode material. The electrolytic solution for the couple is formed from anhydrous liquid ammonia and a salt. Previous work conducted has shown that this system is capable of operating through the military range; furthermore, it can be made to operate at the required current density. (Author)
