Organic electrolyte batteries

Sodium dodecyl sulfate has been used to modify polypyrrole film electrodes. Electrodes synthesized in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate have improved redox processes which are faster and more reversible than those prepared without this surfactant. The electrochemical behavior of these electrodes was investigated by cyclic voltametry and frequence response analysis. The electrodes used in lithium/organic electrolyte batteries show improved performance [195].

Liquid Organic Electrolyte Batteries. These cells use lithium metal for the negative electrode, a liquid organic aprotic solution for the electrolyte, and transition metal compounds (oxides, sulfides, and selenides) for the positive electrode. These transition metal compounds are insertion or intercalation compounds and possess a structure into which lithium ions can be inserted or from which they can be removed during discharge and charge, respectively.

The solvent index is arranged according to single solvents, nonaqueous-aqueous mixtures and nonaqueous-nonaqueous mixtm-es. Individual solvent systems are indexed accordii to solubilities, pKsp, emf, potentiometric titrations, vapor pressure, cryoscopy, heats of solution, polarography, ligand exchange rates, electrode reactions, electrical double layer, spectroscopy, and organic electrolyte batteries. 

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.
