CHEMOELECTRIC ENERGY CONVERSION FOR NONAQUEOUS RESERVE BATTERIES.
Abstract
Investigation of metal/metal nitride systems was continued in the search for satisfactory reference electrodes in liquid ammonia; lithium-electron electrodes were studied; new separator materials were used for a diffusion barrier between the reference electrode chamber and the main test-cell cavity; apparatus and procedures were developed to control electrolyte concentration in conductance measurements at pressures to 25 atm; a thermistor probe was developed for temperature measurements with an accuracy of approximately 0.05C in the immediate vicinity of the experimental electrode; and cyanamide derivatives were prepared for use as neutral and acidic electrolytes in voltaic cells. A calorimeter was modified for measuring heat output of a liquid ammonia battery during discharge; a simulus test fixture was designed and built for controlling critical assembly parameters and measuring dynamic discharge conditions; and battery test instrumentation was improved.
