Feasibility Study of Materials for a Medium-Temperature Reserve Cell Concept

Thermal activated (thermal) battery technology

“…This automatically reduces the maximum energy density and specific energy that is possible. Giwa has reported the performance of the Li-Al/Ag 2 CrO 4 couple in the nitrate eutectic [162,163]. More recently Guidotti and Reinhardt studied the same cathode material but with Li-Si and Li-Al anodes over a wider temperature range [164].…”

Copper (II) Complexes of Knoevenagel Condensate β-Diketimines as Models for Blue Copper and their Interaction with DNA

“…All these complexes exhibit a new strong band in the 1591-1558 cm -1 region corresponding to ν(C=N) assignable to the presence of coordinated azomethine groups [9]. The absence of a band above 1630 cm -1 [10], characteristic of ν(C=O) in salbenz, clearly indicates that the keto groups have been converted in to azomethine moiety on reaction with primary amine. The -OH stretching frequencies of the salicylaldehyde moieties of the salbenz did not disappear even after complexation and appears in the region around 3450 cm -1 shows that this part of the ligand molecule was not involved in the coordination.…”

Discharge Characteristics of Li-Mg-B Alloy/MnO2Couples in Molten LiNO3-KNO3-Ca(NO3)2Eutectic Electrolyte

“…13 In his study, it was reported that a Li/LiNO 3 -KNO 3 battery system combined with a 4-V transition metal oxide cathode material (Ag 2 CrO 4 or Ag 3 PO 4 ) significantly increased the energy and power densities of a thermal battery while lowering the operating temperature of the battery by more than 200 • C. Giwa investigated the Li(Al)/Ag 2 CrO 4 couples in the LiNO 3 -KNO 3 eutectic electrolyte, but only over a narrow temperature range of 160 • C-215 • C and at current densities from 10-100 mA/cm 2 . 14 Guidotti has examined the Li(Al)/MnO 2 couple with LiNO 3 -KNO 3 eutectic electrolyte over a temperature range of 150 to 300 • C at current densities from 7.6 to 30.4 mA/cm 2 . 15 He found that rates near 8 mA/cm 2 are possible at 150 • C and increase to over 30 mA/cm 2 at 300 • C.…”
