This electrolyte is useful for activating an alkali metal/solid cathode electrochemical cell of the kind that typically powers implantable medical devices.

    Abstract: A cell construction that makes use of unbalanced electrode components or portions comprising one of the electrodes of an electrochemical cell to provide an end-of-life indication, is described. The unbalanced electrode components can have dissimilar physical dimensions or dissimilar percent loading of electrode active material. This renders the one dissimilar electrode component having the lesser physical dimension, i.e., lesser surface area or thickness, or lesser quantity of electrode active material electrochemically unreactive prior to the other electrode component during the course of cell discharge. Upon the early exhaustion or unreactiveness of the one dissimilar electrode component, the total cell interelectrode working capacity is reduced by a predetermined factor. The remaining functional electrode component provides the cell with sufficient capacity for electrical discharge at a predetermined lower energy level.

    Abstract: A method for preparing an electrode component comprises mixing an electrode active material in a water-based environment with the aid of surfactants. A preferred embodiment of this process comprises combining a high surface area carbonaceous cathode active material with a water/surfactant mixture, and then adding a fluoro-polymer as the binder material to the slurry. The resulting paste is processed and formed into the cathode material. This process replaces the use of isopropyl alcohol with the water/surfactant mixture as the solvent. Preferred surfactants include those of the polyglycol family.

    Abstract: The current invention relates to the preparation of an improved cathode active material for non-aqueous lithium electrochemical cell. In particular, the cathode active material comprised ε-phase silver vanadium oxide prepared by using silver- and vanadium-containing starting materials in a stoichiometric molar proportion to give a Ag:V ratio of about 1:2. The reactants are homogenized and then added to an aqueous solution followed by heating in a pressurized vessel. The resulting ε-phase SVO possesses a higher surface area than ε-phase SVO produced by other prior art techniques. Consequently, the ε-phase SVO material provides an advantage in greater discharge capacity in pulse dischargeable cells.

    Abstract: Increased Rdc in electrochemical cells is detrimental because under high rate discharge regimes, such as used in powering an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), the amount of energy delivered by the cell over a given period of time is lower as Rdc increases. This reduction in delivered energy results in a longer period of time needed to fully charge the ICD capacitors so that it takes longer to deliver the necessary therapy. Further, an industry recognized standard is to pulse discharge cell about every 90 days to charge the capacitors in the ICD to or near their maximum energy breakdown voltage to heal microfractures that can occur in the capacitor dielectric oxide. However, the present invention requires initiation of more frequent current pulsing upon the detection of an increase in Rdc or charge time. This is even though the Rdc measurement may be below some threshold reading. More frequent pulsing is beneficial for reducing irreversible Rdc growth in the cell, which typically occurs in middle-of-life from about 25% to 70% depth-of-discharge.

    Abstract translation: 电化学电池中Rdc的增加是有害的,因为在诸如用于为可植入心脏除颤器(ICD)供电的高速率放电方案中,在给定时间段内由电池递送的能量的量随着Rdc的增加而降低。 递送能量的这种减少导致完全充电ICD电容器所需的更长的时间,从而需要更长的时间来提供必要的治疗。 此外,行业公认的标准是每90天脉冲放电单元,以将ICD中的电容器充电至其最大能量击穿电压或接近其最大能量击穿电压,以愈合可能发生在电容器电介质氧化物中的微裂缝。 然而,本发明需要在检测到Rdc或充电时间的增加时引发更频繁的电流脉冲。 即使Rdc测量值可能低于某个阈值读数。 更频繁的脉冲对于减少细胞中不可逆的Rdc生长是有益的,其通常在中等寿命中从约25%至70%的放电深度发生。
