Methods for achieving the equilibrium number of phases in mixtures suitable for use in battery electrodes, e.g., for lithiating FeS.sub.2
Abstract
In a method for preparing lithiated, particulate FeS.sub.2 useful as a catholyte material in a lithium thermal battery, whereby the latter's voltage regulation properties are improved, comprising admixing FeS.sub.2 and an amount of a lithium-containing compound whereby the resultant total composition falls in an invariant region of the metallurgical phase diagram of its constituent components, an improvement comprises admixing said lithium-containing compound and FeS.sub.2 together with a solid electrolyte compatible with said catholyte, and heating the mixture at a temperature above the melting point of said electrolyte and at which said mixture reaches its thermodynamic equilibrium number of phases.
