摘要:
A new sandwich cathode design is provided having a first cathode structure of a first cathode active material of a relatively low energy density but of a relatively high rate capability, for example SVO, mixed with a second cathode active material having a relatively high energy density but a relatively low rate capability, for example CF x , with the percentage of SVO being less than that of CF x and sandwiched between two current collectors. Then, a second cathode mixture of SVO and CF x active materials is contacted to the outside of the current collectors. However, the percentage of SVO to CF x is greater in the second structure than in the first. Such an exemplary cathode design might look like: (100-y)% SVO + y% CF x , wherein 0 ≤ y ≤ 100/current collector/(100-x)% SVO + x% CF x , wherein 0 ≤ x ≤ 100/current collector/(100-y)% SVO + y% CF x , wherein 0 ≤ y ≤ 100, and wherein the ratio of x to y is selected from the group consisting of y
摘要:
A new sandwich cathode design having a first cathode active material of a relatively low energy density but of a relatively high rate capability sandwiched between two current collectors and with a second cathode active material having a relatively high energy density but of a relatively low rate capability in contact with the opposite sides of the two current collectors, is described. The present cathode design is relatively safer under short circuit and abuse conditions than cells having a cathode active material of a relatively high energy density but a relatively low rate capability alone. A preferred cathode is: CF x /current collector/SVO/current collector/CF x . The SVO provides the discharge end of life indication since CF x and SVO.cathode cells discharge under different voltage profiles. This is useful as an end-of-replacement indicator (ERI) for an implantable medical device, such as a cardiac pacemaker.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a new method of constructing and interrogating electrochemical cells, especially those having lithium thionyl chloride (Li/SOCl 2 ) chemistry, that permits rapid estimation of remaining discharge capacity. A preferred embodiment of the present invention employs cells with specially modified anode structures and a method for testing the state of charge and remaining life of these cells, as well as depassivating these cells, prior to their intended use or re-use. The test method can be performed using an inexpensive DC circuit and voltmeter at ambient conditions anytime prior to cell use or re-use. There is also disclosed an oilfield services downhole tool battery having a remaining life indicator comprising a housing containing one or more electrochemical cells having an internal anode means which selectively gets consumed at a predetermined state of discharge thereby creating a step change in the cell output voltage which is imperceptible to the tool while in operation at downhole temperatures, and which is capable of being detected at the surface under ambient temperatures upon administering of a suitable current load enabling the user to determine the remaining battery life at the surface prior to subsequent use or reuse of the battery in downhole oilfield services operations.

摘要:
Une cellule électrochimique primaire (1) fonctionne de façon à donner un avertissement vers la fin de la décharge de la cellule, en signalant la fin prochaine de la durée de vie de la cellule. La cellule comprend une structure cathodique tubulaire (6) en carbone poreux, agencée dans une enceinte métallique (4) de la cellule avec une structure anodique (10) et une solution électrolytique (3). La structure anodique (10) comprend un premier et un deuxième éléments électrochimiquement actifs, par exemple, du lithium et du calcium, ayant des potentiels d'oxydation différents à l'intérieur de la cellule et qui se consument par une action électrochimique à l'intérieur de la cellule pendant la décharge de la cellule. La consommation des éléments actifs pendant la décharge de la cellule a pour conséquence l'établissement de tensions de fonctionnement différentes et distinctes pour la cellule. Les éléments actifs sont agencés l'un par rapport à l'autre de telle façon que l'élément actif ayant un potentiel d'oxydation plus élevé (c'est-à-dire, le lithium) se consume avant l'autre élément actif (c'est-à-dire, le calcium). Le changement de valeur de la tension de fonctionnement de la cellule, dû à la consommation successive des deux éléments actifs, est détecté pour donner une indication qui signale la fin prochaine de la durée de vie de la cellule.
