Studies on Pasted Silver Oxide Electrodes Suitable for a Pile Battery,
Abstract
The feasibility of producing cathodes for a torpedo propulsion Ag/Zn primary battery using chemically prepared silver oxide was studied. On a practical basis, work was directed towards a pile type replacement battery for the MK NC 46 battery which would require less silver to provide at least the present power and energy densities. A suitable method for preparing AgO plates with acceptable high rate discharge characteristics was established. Approximate design values were derived for a possible replacement battery to give some indication of physical characteristics. The test results on small single electrodes were scaled up and indicated that a pile Ag/Zn battery with total design-weight of silver of less than 3.5 g/Ah can meet the MK NC 46 output requirement.
