Abstract

A secondary electrochemical cell is disclosed with the positive and negative electrodes separated by a molten salt electrolyte with the negative electrode comprising a particulate mixture of lithium aluminum alloy and electrolyte and an additive selected from graphitized carbon, raney iron or mixtures thereof. The lithium aluminum alloy is present in the range of from about 45 to about 80 percent by volume of the negative electrode, and the electrolyte is present in an amount not less than about 10 percent by volume of the negative electrode. The additive of graphitized carbon is present in the range of from about 1 to about 10 percent by volume of the negative electrode, and the raney iron additive is present in the range of from about 3 to about 10 percent by volume of the negative electrode.

Development of lithium--metal sulfide batteries for load leveling. [Li/KCl-LiCl/Fe sulfides, Li and Li-Si negative electrodes]

Technical Report Hall, J.; Lai, S.; McCoy, L.; ...

A multi-element project directed to the development of a lithium--iron sulfide battery for electric utility energy storage is described. This battery uses a molten KCl--LiCl electrolyte and is operated at about 400/sup 0/C. This report describes the work performed on iron sulfide positive electrodes during the period of April 1 to December 30, 1974. The status of associated elements of the project concerned with lithium negative electrodes, ceramic components, and cell design is also presented. Investigations of iron sulfide active materials, current-conductive matrices, and electrode housings were made with the objective of developing low-cost, long-lived iron sulfide electrodes.

Electrochemical cell

Patent Kaun, T

An improved secondary electrochemical cell is disclosed having a negative electrode of lithium aluminum, a positive electrode of iron sulfide, a molten electrolyte of lithium chloride and potassium chloride, and the combination that the fully charged theoretical capacity of the negative electrode is in the range of 0.5-1.0 that of the positive electrode. The cell thus is negative electrode limiting during discharge cycling. Preferably, the negative electrode contains therein, in the approximate range of 1-10 volume % of the electrode, an additive from the materials of graphitized carbon, aluminum-iron alloy, and/or magnesium oxide.
