Safety characteristics of lithium-alloy/metal sulfide batteries

OSTI ID:10160586
A battery using a Li-Al negative electrode, a molten LiCl-LiBr-KBr electrolyte, a FeS{sub 2} or a FeS positive electrode, and a stable chalcogenide-based ceramic sealant is under development. Full-size bipolar Li-Al/FeS and Li-Al/FeS{sub 2} cells (13 cm dia) and four- cell stacks are being built and tested for electric-vehicle use. Chemical hazards, toxicity, thermal hazards, and hazards from electrical abuse are analyzed. The safety tests that have been conducted to date, including crash tests, are discussed; although they have not been extensive, they indicate that these batteries are inherently safe. A table of the preliminary hazard assessment is included.
