Chromium (V) compounds as cathode material in electrochemical power sources

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5388194
A cathode for use in a thermal battery, comprising a chromium (V) compound. The preferred materials for this use are Ca/sub 5/(CrO/sub 4/)/sub 3/Cp, Ca/sub 5/(CrO/sub 4/)/sub 3/OH, and Cr/sub 2/O/sub 5/. The chromium (V) compound can be employed as a cathode material in ambient temperature batteries when blended with a suitably conductive filler, preferably carbon black.
