EVALUATION OF ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR VEHICLE PROPULSION.
Abstract
The purpose of this contract is to evaluate the Sohio molten salt secondary battery for vehicle propulsion. The Sohio battery uses a molten lithium chloride-potassium chloride electrolyte, activatable carbon cathodes with special additives to increase capacity and lithium alloy anodes. Test results on Sohio cells indicate that a 100 WH/lb. battery is possible if a 50% improvement in cathode performance can be achieved, if a stable electrode spacer is developed which allows tighter unit cell packaging, if container and seal weights are reduced and if life of cathode is extended.
