Sealed Primary Lithium-Inorganic Electrolyte Cell.
Abstract
The purpose of this program is to develop and characterize the lithium-inorganic electrolyte system comprising a Li anode, a carbon cathode, a LiAlCl4 electrolyte salt, and a SOCl2 solvent cum depolarizer. The basic system has been described in the literature. It has been shown earlier that although the system is capable of delivering high energy densities, it exhibits a voltage delay on discharge after storage at high temperature due to the formation of a LiCl passivating film on Li. The program is divided into two tasks: Task I involves the component capability and design, and Task II involves the construction of sealed battery cell prototypes. During the third quarter the authors continued the construction of the hemetic Li/SOCl2 D cells for evaluation, and obtained some storage and low temperature performance data. They also monitored the temperature rise of the D cells on shorting.
