Investigations Leading to the Design and Development of Magnesium/Magnesium Perchlorate Batteries

摘要

The report summarizes the significant accomplishments during the one (1) year of effort expended on the development of a feasible MnO2/Mg(C104)2/Mg battery for field radio applications. Details of cell construction and testing are presented. The second portion of the report (Fourth Quarterly Report) details the results of a full scale test program designed to measure the characteristics of the system under various environmental conditions. The report shows the system to be very stable with varying temperatures and capable of performing well in at least one of the field radio operational modes. (Author)
