Lithium-Inorganic Electrolyte Batteries.
Abstract
The major area of investigation during this report period has been the voltage delay and depression in Li/SOCl2 cells after storage at 71 C. These are due to films on the Li anode surface which arise from reaction with the electrolyte. The effects of test-cell design have been assessed: Substitution of Teflon by quartz has a major effect in improving cell performance; cells with a small surface-to-volume ratio show better performance than those with large surface-to-volume ratios; presence of exposed Ni Exmet causes an increase in cell passivation, which is most noticeable with small area electrodes. This effect diminishes with larger area electrodes. This increased passivation is most likely due to increased Li corrosion caused by the reduction of SOCl2 on the exposed Exmet.
