Use of a polyacetylene cathode in primary lithium-thionyl chloride cells

Technical Report · Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 EDT 1983

OSTI ID:6920621

This report describes the work performed for the Navy with regard to the use of poly(acetylene), (CH)x, as a cathode material in a lithium/thionyl (Li/SOCl/sub 2/) battery. The objective of the project was three fold: (1) To characterize and understand the electrochemistry of (CH)x in a detailed manner, (2) To study the compatibility of (CH)x with SOCl/sub 2/ and (3) To synthesize and investigate 'modified' (CH)x polymers which may possess more desirable properties than the parent polymer.
