Optimization of carbon cathodes for Li/SO sub(2)Cl sub(2) cells

Five carbon blacks were evaluated for use at cathode materials in lithium-sulfuryl chloride half-cells. The best overall performance at high discharge rates ws obtaiend with Cabot's CSX-179B. Cathode load voltage and capacity were dramatically increased at 40 mA/cm super(2) current density with...

Description
Summary:Five carbon blacks were evaluated for use at cathode materials in lithium-sulfuryl chloride half-cells. The best overall performance at high discharge rates ws obtaiend with Cabot's CSX-179B. Cathode load voltage and capacity were dramatically increased at 40 mA/cm super(2) current density without resorting to catalysts or additives by chemically treating either Shawinigan acetylene black or CSX-179B powder with acetone prior to cathode fabrication.
