This report discusses electrochemical studies relative to the solution thermodynamics of potential high energy battery electrolytes and cathode materials in the aprotic organic solvents, propylene carbonate, DMF and DMSO. The study includes a comprehensive survey of reversible reference electrode systems and a specific experimental review of chloride reversible electrodes based on silver, thallium, lead and cadmium. A very useful bibliography is included which covers much of the recent technical report literature relative to high energy density batteries. [Pg.779]

A lithium battery, which is different from a lithium-ion battery, uses lithium metal as one electrode and carbon in contact with Mn02 in a paste of KOH as the other electrode. The electrolyte is lithium perchlorate in a nonaqueous solvent, and the construction is similar to the silver battery. The half-cell reactions involve the oxidation of lithium and the reaction... [Pg.914]

Anhydrous silver hexafluorophosphate [26042-63-7] AgPF, as well as other silver fluorosalts, is unusual in that it is soluble in ben2ene, toluene, and xylene and forms 1 2 molecular crystalline complexes with these solvents (91). Olefins form complexes with AgPF and this characteristic has been used in the separation of olefins from paraffins (92). AgPF also is used as a catalyst. Lithium hexafluorophosphate [21324-40-3] LiPF, as well as KPF and other PF g salts, is used as electrolytes in lithium anode batteries (qv). [Pg.227]

Silver sulfide, when pure, conducts electricity like a metal of high specific resistance, yet it has a zero temperature coefficient. This metallic conduction is beheved to result from a few silver ions existing in the divalent state, and thus providing free electrons to transport current. The use of silver sulfide as a soHd electrolyte in batteries has been described (57). [Pg.92]

Silver [7440-22-4] Ag, as an active material in electrodes was first used by Volta, but the first intensive study using silver as a storage battery electrode was reported in 1889 (5) using silver oxide—iron and silver oxide—copper combinations. Work on silver oxide—cadmium followed. In the 1940s, the use of a semipermeable membrane combined with limited electrolyte was introduced by Andrir in the silver oxide—2inc storage battery. [Pg.544]

The positive plates are siatered silver on a silver grid and the negative plates are fabricated from a mixture of cadmium oxide powder, silver powder, and a binder pressed onto a silver grid. The main separator is four or five layers of cellophane with one or two layers of woven nylon on the positive plate. The electrolyte is aqeous KOH, 50 wt %. In the aerospace appHcations, the plastic cases were encapsulated in epoxy resins. Most usehil cell sizes have ranged from 3 to 15 A-h, but small (0.1 A-h) and large (300 A-h) sizes have been evaluated. Energy densities of sealed batteries are 26-31 W-h/kg. [Pg.557]

Spontaneous low resistance internal short circuits can develop in silver—zinc and nickel—cadmium batteries. In high capacity cells heat generated by such short circuits can result in electrolyte boiling, cell case melting, and cell fires. Therefore cells that exhibit high resistance internal short circuits should not continue to be used. Excessive overcharge that can lead to dry out and short circuits should be avoided. [Pg.567]

The poor efficiencies of coal-fired power plants in 1896 (2.6 percent on average compared with over forty percent one hundred years later) prompted W. W. Jacques to invent the high temperature (500°C to 600°C [900°F to 1100°F]) fuel cell, and then build a lOO-cell battery to produce electricity from coal combustion. The battery operated intermittently for six months, but with diminishing performance, the carbon dioxide generated and present in the air reacted with and consumed its molten potassium hydroxide electrolyte. In 1910, E. Bauer substituted molten salts (e.g., carbonates, silicates, and borates) and used molten silver as the oxygen electrode. Numerous molten salt batteiy systems have since evolved to handle peak loads in electric power plants, and for electric vehicle propulsion. Of particular note is the sodium and nickel chloride couple in a molten chloroalumi-nate salt electrolyte for electric vehicle propulsion. One special feature is the use of a semi-permeable aluminum oxide ceramic separator to prevent lithium ions from diffusing to the sodium electrode, but still allow the opposing flow of sodium ions. [Pg.235]

Dry cells (batteries) and fuel cells are the main chemical electricity sources. Diy cells consist of two electrodes, made of different metals, placed into a solid electrolyte. The latter facilitates an oxidation process and a flow of electrons between electrodes, directly converting chemical energy into electricity. Various metal combinations in electrodes determine different characteristics of the dry cells. For example, nickel-cadmium cells have low output but can work for several years. On the other hand, silver-zinc cells are more powerful but with a much shorter life span. Therefore, the use of a particular type of dry cell is determined by the spacecraft mission profile. Usually these are the short missions with low electricity consumption. Diy cells are simple and reliable, since they lack moving parts. Their major drawbacks are... [Pg.1076]

In acidic electrolytes only lead, because it forms passive layers on the active surfaces, has proven sufficiently chemically stable to produce durable storage batteries. In contrast, in alkaline medium there are several substances basically suitable as electrode materials nickel hydroxide, silver oxide, and manganese dioxide as positive active materials may be combined with zinc, cadmium, iron, or metal hydrides. In each case potassium hydroxide is the electrolyte, at a concentration — depending on battery systems and application — in the range of 1.15 - 1,45 gem"3. Several elec-... [Pg.281]

Cul) is not due to point defects but to partial occupation of crystallographic sites. The defective structure is sometimes called structural disorder to distinguish it from point defects. There are a large number of vacant sites for the cations to move into. Thus, ionic conductivity is enabled without use of aliovalent dopants. A common feature of both compounds is that they are composed of extremely polarizable ions. This means that the electron cloud surrounding the ions is easily distorted. This makes the passage of a cation past an anion easier. Due to their high ionic conductivity, silver and copper ion conductors can be used as solid electrolytes in solid-state batteries. [Pg.432]

In topochemical reactions all steps, including that of nucleation of the new phase, occur exclusively at the interface between two solid phases, one being the reactant and the other the product. As the reaction proceeds, this interface gradually advances in the direction of the reactant. In electrochemical systems, topochemical reactions are possible only when the reactant or product is porous enough to enable access of reacting species from the solution to each reaction site. The number of examples electrochemical reactions known to follow a truly topochemical mechanism is very limited. One of these examples are the reactions occurring at the silver (positive) electrode of silver-zinc storage batteries (with alkaline electrolyte) ... [Pg.442]
