This paper describes the study of ambient temperature lithium/organosulfer systems. Many organosulfur electrodes are inexpensive, biodegradable, relatively nontoxic, and fairly unreactive to molten sodium, implying safety risks may be minimal for these systems. Early tests showed that lithium metal was passivated by a number of electroactive organosulfur solutions; similar to the behavior of lithium metal in oxychloride catholytes. The results outline the behavior of one of many possible Li/RSSR cells, the lithium/(tetraethyl thiuram disulfide) battery.
