Lithium Battery with Inorganic Electrolyte.
Abstract
Experimental lithium anode cells with inorganic electrolytes operable at ambient temperatures as well as at temperatures as low as -40C were made using the POCl3-SOCl2 solvent system. Using a 1.2M LiBCl4 solution in the solvent as electrolyte, a conductivity of 0.006/ohm-cm was reached (at 25C), and a range of solid cathodes was surveyed. The cathode survey covered elements (such as sulfur and metals) metal halides, metal oxides, and metal sulfides, as well as catalytic surfaces over which the solvent is reduced. The best cathodes identified were the sulfur and the catalytic cathodes. (Author)
