Analysis of Pressure Producing Reactions in Lithium-Sulfur Dioxide Cells.
Abstract
Although the State-of-the-Art hermetically sealed high-rate D cells made by P. R. Mallory & Co. Inc. are sufficiently abuse resistant for many applications, this program was initiated to explore the feasibility of improving the intrinsic abuse resistance of the system even further by chemical and/or mechanical means, so that the product may be rendered Safe under all user conditions. The approach that was pursued involved: (a) the identification of the chemical reactions responsible for the pressure buildup and/or thermal runaway; (b) the determination of the sensitivity of these reactions to the various use and abuse variables; and (c) the development of methods to desensitize these reactions.
