Problems solved by technology

This is not to say that many combinations of lithium salts with organic solvents cannot give Li / FeS that is completely nonfunctional 2 Battery
However, the challenge associated with using such batteries with electrolytes formed using only any known combination of lithium salts and organic solvents is that the problems encountered would likely be intractable, thus making the batteries impractical for commercial use

[0090] Comparison and experimental testing of Li / FeS 2 Coin cell battery 100 ( Figure 1A ) is prepared as follows:

[0091] Comparison and Experimental Testing of Coin Cell Assemblies:

[0092] The coin-shaped aluminized steel cathode casing 130 and the coin-shaped nickel-plated steel anode casing 120 are made of Figure 1A A similar configuration as shown in was formed. The finished battery 100 has a maximum diameter of about 20 mm and a thickness of about 3 mm. (This is the size of a conventional ASTM type 2032 coin cell.)

Abstract

A primary cell having an anode comprising lithium and a cathode comprising iron disulfide (FeS2) and carbon particles. The electrolyte comprises a lithium salt dissolved in a solvent mixture which contains 1,3-dioxolane and preferably 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone. A cathode slurry is prepared comprising iron disulfide powder, carbon, binder, and a liquid solvent. The mixture is coated onto a conductive substrate and solvent evaporated leaving a dry cathode coating on the substrate. The anode and cathode can be spirally wound with separator therebetween and inserted into the cell casing with electrolyte then added.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to a lithium battery having an anode comprising lithium and a cathode comprising iron disulfide and an electrolyte comprising a lithium salt, preferably lithium iodide, and a solvent comprising 1,3-dioxolane and 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolinone. Background of the invention [0002] Primary (non-rechargeable) electrochemical cells with lithium anodes are known and are in wide commercial use. The anode consists essentially of lithium metal. Such cells typically have a cathode comprising manganese dioxide and a compound such as lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF 3 SO 3 ) Lithium salt electrolyte. The battery is known in the art as a primary lithium battery (primary Li / MnO 2 batteries), and are generally not intended to be rechargeable. Alternatively, primary lithium cells with a lithium metal anode but with a different cathode are also known. For example, such batteries have iron disulfide (FeS 2 ) cathode and called Li / F...
