Lithium/vanadium pentoxide batteries

The voltage discharge profile of the lithium-vanadium pentoxide battery is compared with that of lithium-thionyl chloride and lithium-sulphur dioxide systems in Figure 9.5. Lithium-vanadium pentoxide systems operate satisfactorily at temperatures as low as — 55°C with efficiencies approaching 50% (Table 9.3). 

Diagi ammatic representations of reserve and non-reserve (active) lithium-vanadium pentoxide batteries supplied by Honeywell are shown, respectively, in Figures 24.11 and 24.12. 

Improvements in device electronics partially helped to improve device longevities, but new battery systems were also needed. The earliest ICDs were powered by lithium-vanadium pentoxide (LiA 20s) [6]. Longevities were... 

Lithium-Aluminum Vanadium Pentoxide Batteries. The LiAl/V205 cell is another rechargeable lithium coin-type battery with a low self-discharge rate (2% per year at 20°C) which can be used for low-drain loads. Over 1000 cycles can be obtained at 10% depth of discharge. The construction is similar to the one illustrated in Fig. 34.37, except that V2OS is used for the active positive material.

Three principal types of lithium organic electrolyte battery are currently available the lithium-thionyl chloride system, the lithium-vanadium pentoxide system and the lithium-sulphur dioxide system. These batteries all have high-rate capabilities. The approximate open-circuit equilibrium cell voltages for these various cathode systems and for some other systems that have been considered are shown in Table 9.2. 

Lithium-vanadium pentoxide reserve cells are available in the capacity range 100—500 mA. They undergo no capacity loss during 10 years storage. A major outlet is munition system batteries. The electrolyte is stored in a glass ampoule, which when broken activates the battery within 5 seconds. 

The major outlet for lithium-vanadium pentoxide reserve batteries is in munitions systems.

Orthorhombic crystalline vanadium pentoxide is a typical intercalation compound as a result of its layered structure, see Fig. 5.2, which finds widespread use in lithium ion intercalation applications such as electrochromic cells [17], high energy density batteries [18], supercapacitors [19], and sensors [20], since it offers the essential advantages of low cost, abundant availability, easy synthesis, and high intercalation densities [15, 16]. 

Due to the good performance of vanadimn pentoxides in catalysis and lithium insertion batteries, vanadium pentoxide nanocomposites are widely studied materials [48].
