Experimental Evaluation of the Synthetic Solid Electrolyte Interface (SSEI) Concept for the Primary Ca-SOCl2 Battery System
Abstract
The Ca-SOCl(2) primary battery system has an excellent safety profile when subjected to a variety of abuse test conditions. Furthermore its theoretical energy density qualifies it for a variety of demanding Army and other DOD applications. Recently, significant improvements have been reported in the low temperature performance and the cathode capacity obtainable in this system. One major remaining flaw, however, is the corrosion of the Ca anode during storage at elevated temperature. Efforts to modify the electrolyte or provide a protective coating for the anode have had only limited success. The purpose of the present research has been to apply the concept of a synthetic solid electrolyte interface (SSEI) to overcome the problem of Ca corrosion in Ca-SOCl(2) primary cells.
