HIGH ENERGY BATTERY SYSTEMS BASED ON PROPYLENE CARBONATE

Abstract

The electrochemistry of electrolyte and electrode systems based on the aprotic organic solvent propylene carbonate is reviewed with emphasis on the application of such systems to high energy batteries. Topics discussed include electrolyte stability, purity requirements, purification procedures, solvent-ion interaction phenomena, and electrode reactions of inorganic positives, organic positives, and active metal negatives. Performance of primary battery systems is satisfactory for many purposes. The development of secondary systems and systems for operation at low temperature is discussed.
