Lithium Battery Systems: Examination of the Iodine Pentoxide Cathode,

Abstract

The electrochemical system lithium-iodine pentoxide, attractive because of its high theoretical energy density, was investigated, employing as electrolyte a variety of salts dissolved in polar organic solvents. Iodine pentoxide blended with graphite and pressed on an expanded silver grid served as cathode; the anodes were made by pressing lithium ribbon onto an expanded nickel grid.
