Feasibility of a Super High Energy Density Battery of the Li/BrF3 Electrochemical System

Abstract

The feasibility of developing a lithium/bromine trifluoride battery is being studied. Critical to this product development is materials selection. Consequently, efforts have been directed toward identifying candidate porous electrode separators, glasses for insulated electrical feed-throughs and metals for lid, case and current collector fabrication. Samples were evaluated via electrochemical testing techniques and one month storage in Teflon vials. Vial test results for metal samples did not vary significantly from those reported in technical report 0001AA. Of the separator samples tested, Raychem proves to be most promising. Further study is required regarding glass selection. Electrochemical testing is still in progress.
