Safety Studies of Lithium-Sulfur Dioxide Cells.

Abstract

Hermetically sealed SO2 'D' cells were fabricated and tested to improve safety during use/abuse conditions. Variables evaluated were wrap configurations, cathode processing, cathode density, lithium content and SO2 concentration. At 2A constant current, at -20 deg F and room temperature, respectively, no venting occurred to 200% of the theoretical SO2 content. Discharge efficiency had the most influence on the safety and cathode development contributed most to improving the overall cell efficiency. (Autho)
