Lithium-Inorganic Electrolyte Batteries.
Abstract
In recent years there has been considerable research and development on ambient temperature, high energy density lithium cells. A particularly promising system is based on thionyl chloride, SOCl2. In this case, SOCl2 serves both as solvent and depolarizer for the cell. D cells have delivered 100 Whr/lb and 40 W/lb at the 2.5 hr rate and, as usual, have delivered higher energy densities at slower discharge rates. The purpose of the present program is to study the feasibility of an all-inorganic electrolyte lithium primary battery operable and storable over the temperature range of -40 F to +160 F. The desired energy density is 150 watt-hours per pound of total battery weight and the desired power density is 50 watts per pound.
