摘要:
The present invention relates to a lithium/graphite fluoride primary battery prepared by a process comprising the steps of (a) Providing an amount of a graphite fluoride powder; (b) Treating the amount of graphite fluoride powder by mechanical milling, by which step an active material is obtained; and (c) Forming an electrochemical cell in which a mixture of the active material and an electrically conducting carbon is assembled as part of the positive electrode and a body comprising lithium is assembled as part of a negative electrode. The present invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a lithium/graphite fluoride primary battery. By applying mechanical milling to the graphite fluoride powder the particle size of the active material could be considerably reduced which resulted both in a larger BET surface area, an increased value for the total pore volume and a higher tap density. By this measure, both the energy density and the power density of this battery could be considerably improved without losing the high intrinsic specific capacity of the original graphite fluoride powder material.
