CHARACTERISTICS OF m-DINITROBENZENE (m-DNB) DRY CELLS

Abstract

The performance of the Mg/Mg(ClO4)2/m-DNB system is evaluated for various temperatures, hourly rates, and shelf-life periods. Extensive data is given for three cell sizes: 'R(N)', 'A' and 'D'. Techniques for fabrication of the above cells, which are adaptable for high-speed assembly, are mentioned. Finally, a comparison of the Mg/Mg(ClO4)2/m-DNB system with the Mg/Mg(ClO4)2/ MnO2 is given with respect to energy densities and performance curves. Improvements in cathode efficiency, corrosion inhibition, and a mechanical seal will have to be initiated in the Mg/m-DNB system before it will be able to compete with the present Mg/MnO2 system.
