DTIC ADA077162: Lithium-Thionyl Chloride Battery.

The Li/SOCl2 inorganic electrolyte system is the highest energy density system known to date. It consists of a Li anode, a carbon cathode and SOCl2 which acts both as a solvent and as a cathode active material. The electrolyte salt that has been used most extensively is LiAlCl4, but salts such as Li2B10Cl10 and Li2O(AlCl3)2 have also been used successfully in this system for improving the shelf life characteristics. The main objective of this program is to develop high rate Li/SOCl2 cells and batteries for portable applications of the U.S. Army. The cells and batteries must deliver high energy densities than are presently available and must be safe to handle under U.S. Army field conditions.
