Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nonagueous electrolyte alkali metal electrochemical cell, and in particular, a lithium cell designed for high current pulse discharge applications.
- anode surface film plays a very important role in the discharge performance of either a primary or a secondary alkali metal electrochemical cell, and in particular, a lithium cell.
- SEI solid-electrolyte interphase
- a good SEI benefits cell performance, including high discharge capacity, long useful life, better rechargeability for secondary cells and little or no voltage delay during high current pulse applications. Since the formation of a surface film is unavoidable for alkali metal, and in particular, lithium metal anodes, and for lithium intercalated carbon anodes, due to their low potential and high reactivity towards organic electrolytes, much effort has been focused on modification of the chemical composition and morphology of the anode surface film.
- the ideal anode surface film should be electrically insulating and ionically conducting. While most alkali metal, and in particular, lithium electrochemical systems meet the first requirement, the second requirement is difficult to achieve. As a result, higher impedance builds up inside the cell due to this surface layer formation which often results in lower discharge voltage and lower cell capacity. In the case of a cell subjected to high current pulse discharge, large voltage delay and voltage drop may occur and limit the effectiveness of the cell under these conditions.
- the surface film also affects the efficiency and cyclability of secondary alkali metal cells.
- the present invention is directed to dissolving organic additives in the electrolyte to change the anode surface film.
- the carbonate additives have weak 0-X bonds, which when dissolved in the activating electrolyte effect the anode surface film to desirably change its ionic conductivity.
- the object of the present invention is to improve the performance of a primary alkali metal electrochemical cell, and more particularly, a lithium electrochemical cell by dissolving in the nonaqueous electrolyte solution a combination of organic additives.
- a further object of this invention is to provide the present electrolyte solution in operative association with an electrochemical system incorporated in a defibrillator battery to minimize or eliminate voltage delay under high current pulse discharge conditions.
- the concept of this invention is likewise applicable to secondary alkali metal electrochemical cells.
- the aforementioned objects are achieved by the addition of organic additive, preferably carbonate additives dissolved in the electrolyte solution of an alkali metal electrochemical cell.
- the present invention uses solid organic additives which provide ease in handling and in electrolyte preparation.
- the additives are designed to interact with the alkali metal anode, and particularly with a lithium anode to form a protective anode surface layer which improves the discharge performance of the cell, and minimizes or even eliminates voltage delay in high current discharge conditions.
