CHEMOELECTRIC ENERGY CONVERSION FOR NONAQUEOUS RESERVE BATTERIES

Abstract

The effects of H2S and NH4(+) on the reduction of sulfur in NH3 solutions were investigated and both were found to be beneficial. The effects of various cathode materials and acid strengths on the reduction of m-DNB were also investigated and sulfamide and cyanamide were found to favorably affect the reduction of m-DNB, while urea did not. Various electrode materials were tested in acid liquid ammonia to determine their value as catalysts for the electrochemical oxidation of carbonaceous fuels. Titanium and tantalum were found to offer wide potential ranges and good resistance to electrode corrosion. Methanol was tested in liquid NH3-NH4SCN for possible oxidation on various electrode surfaces, but no activity was observed in liquid ammonia solutions.
