Studies Leading to the Development of High-Rate Lithium-Sulfuryl Chloride Battery Technology

Abstract

Batteries built with an inorganic catholyte (e.g., thionyl chloride and sulfuryl chloride) are of interest for military applications on the basis of their high demonstrated energy density and high discharge rate capability when compared with organic electrolyte lithium cells. By far the greatest attention has been given to the lithium-thionyl chloride (Li/SOC12) system; cells and batteries have been demonstrated with energy densities in excess of 600Wh/kg (1). Less attention has been given to the development of lithium-sulfuryl chloride batteries possibly because of a somewhat lower theoretical energy density (1700 and 1500 Wh/kg for Li/SOC12 and Li/SO2C12 respectively).
