Lithium-Inorganic Electrolyte Batteries.
Abstract
A SOCl2-based, Li primary battery operable over the temperature range -40 to +160F is being evaluated. The desired energy density is 150 watt-hours per pound of total battery weight and the desired energy density is 50 watts per pound. The major area of investigation during this report period has been in connection with the voltage delays observed after storage at 71C. These are due to formation of films on the Li electrode from its reaction with the solution. The effects on these films of storage time, electrolyte purity and alloying of the LI have been explored. The effect of various electrode pretreatments such as chemical and electrochemical etching of the Li surface on the high temperature storage behavior was investigated.
