Five carbon blacks were evaluated for use as cathode materials in lithium-sulfuryl chloride half-cells. The best overall performance at high discharge rates was obtained with Cabot's CSX-179B. Cathode load voltage and capacity were dramatically increased at 40 mA/sq cm current density without resorting to catalysts or additives by chemically treating either Shawinigan acetylene black or CSX-179B powder with acetone prior to cathode fabrication. 13 references.
