The cell was placed in an oven at 5 ℃/min to 140 ℃ and held at temperature, and the open circuit voltage of the cell during the temperature ramp was recorded with a multimeter and reported, with the results shown in table 1. The cell was discharged at 140 ℃ at a rate of 0.2C, and the discharge curve is shown in fig. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4, after the thermally activated battery is activated at a high temperature, the primary battery having the above electrolyte structure is normally discharged at a temperature of 140 ℃, and the specific discharge capacity above the effective voltage (1.5V) is 256 mAh/g.

The cell was placed in a muffle furnace at 5 ℃/min to 400 ℃ and held at temperature, the open circuit voltage of the cell during the temperature rise was recorded with a multimeter and the cell was discharged at 400 ℃ with the discharge curve shown in fig. 5. As can be seen from fig. 5, the primary battery having the above electrolyte structure, after being activated at a high temperature, is normally discharged at a temperature of 400 c, and the molten salt electrolyte of the conventional thermal battery is also suitable.

The cell was placed in an oven at 5 ℃/min to 200 ℃ and the open circuit voltage of the cell during the temperature ramp was recorded with a multimeter.
Example 13
A conductivity testing apparatus, having the electrolyte structure of example 2 sandwiched between two steel sheets, was placed in an oven and the temperature was raised to 180 ℃ at a rate of 5 ℃/min, and the conductivity of the new electrolyte system at different temperatures was tested and recorded as shown in table 3. The data in table 3 also demonstrate that the electrolyte forms ion channels at high temperatures, enabling ion access inside the cell.

Example 14
The results of thermal analysis of the electrolyte-encapsulating films PE of examples 1, 2 and 13 are shown in fig. 6. It can be seen from the thermal analysis curve of the PE sealing film in fig. 6 that the PE sealing film starts to melt at 120.9 c, i.e., a transition from a solid state to a liquid state occurs, and the PE melts to expose the electrolyte, thereby forming an ion path inside the battery.
Table 4 shows the melting points of different polymers used as inert layers in the electrolyte structure. Because different polymers have different melting points and thus the inert layers have different phase transition temperatures, flexible adjustment of the activation temperature of a thermally activated cell can be achieved by selecting different inert layers.
