INVESTIGATIONS ON LIQUID AMMONIA CELLS,
Abstract
A number of investigations were performed on Mgliquid NH3-AgCl cells to evaluate and optimize a new technique (hot dry press) for forming AgCl cathodes and also to demonstrate feasibility of a mixed salt electrolyte (KSCN:KClO4 in liquid ammonia). The hot dry pressed AgCl cathode appeared to be as efficient as the conventionally water pasted cathode and showed greater ease in fabrication, shorter fabrication time and better adaptability for higher weight electrodes. The mixed salt electrolyte 35:10 KSCN:KClO4 increased the energy output of the Mg-AgCl system by 20% at -65F, while reducing the vapor pressure of the previously used 35% KSCN by 50 psi at +125F. The factorial design plans used are discussed in detail, with emphasis on planning, evaluation of results and use of significant factor level ranges in subsequent experiments. (Author)
