LITHIUM-NICKEL FLUORIDE SECONDARY BATTERY INVESTIGATION.

Abstract

A discussion is presented on the problems encountered in preparing and/or obtaining pure anhydrous nickel fluoride. To date, the purest material obtained is 98.5% NiF2. Iron, nickel oxide and free HF are the usual contaminants. Positive electrode fabrication techniques are discussed. It has been found necessary to increase the binder to 10% when high surface are carbons are used as conductive diluents. Two binders, Foundrez 92-080 and Microthene FN500 are used. Voltammetry sweeps were used to evaluate GBL and PC with KPF6. Previously, electrolyte studies had indicated that GBL had less ion-pairing than PC (both with KPF6) but there was no appreciable difference in voltammetry sweeps using the two electrolytes.
