Assessment of Li/SOCl2 Battery Technology; Reserve, Thin-Cell Design. Volume 3

摘要

In choosing and developing a battery system, extensive research, i.e., computermodeling and electrochemistry experiments is required. The kinetics of chemical and electrochemical reactions determine the operational characteristics of a battery, including discharge rate capability and shelf storage life. This in turn affects power output. Battery design also affects battery output, i.e., distance between the bipolar plates, thickness of the electrodes and spacers, materials used, uniformity of electrolyte flow, etc. To maximize the performance of a battery system, therefore, one must do basic research ot identify the electrochemical and chemical process occurring within the battery. Too often this has not been done with the expected results. With regards to Li/SOC12 battery development program described in Volume I of TR 1154, this volume contains a compilation of technical papers and is a continuation of Volume II of TR 1154. These papers have appeared in refereed journals and books. In addition, abstracts of presentations given at meetings and a table of contents for the previous two volumes of TR 1154 are included. This work was performed as part of the Naval Ocean Systems Center Independent Exploratory Development program and constitutes a portion of a program whose goal is to establish a technology base for high-discharge rate Li/SOC12 batteries.
