Abstract

1. Active positive material for electrochemical generator with non aqueous electrolyte, characterized in that it is constituted of a double chromate of bismuth which belongs to the group comprising bismuth-silver-bichromate AgBi(Cr2 O7 )2 , bismuth-thallium-bichromate TlBi(Cr2 O7 )2 and bismuth-thallium-chromate TlBi(CrO4 )2 .

Description

The invention relates to a positive active material for an electric cell with a non-aqueous electrolyte and more particularly to cells which include a negative electrode 4 based on an alkali or alkali-earth metal, in particular lithium.
Cells with non-aqueous electrolyte are known in which the active materials are silver chromate and lithium. The discharge voltage of these cells is higher than 2 volts and is particularly suitable for some applications. Unfortunate10 ly, silver chromate is an expensive active material because it contains silver.
The invention aims to replace silver chromate by an active material which contains less silver or which does not contain any and which has a similar discharge potential.
The invention provides an active positive material for electrochemical generator with non aqueous electrolyte, characterized in that it is constituted of a double chromate of bismuth which belongs to the group comprising bismuthsilver-bichromate AgBi(Cr2O^)2, bismuth-thallium-bichromate TXBi(Cr2O^)2 and bismuth-thallium-chromate TIBi(CrO4)2· Bismuth double chromate is taken to mean a double salt of bismuth whose anion is formed by oxygen and hexa2valent chromium and may be either the chromate anion CrO. or 2- 4 the dichromate anion Cr20^ · Bismuth and silver double dichromate contains 14.4% by weight of silver instead of 65.0% as in silver chromate.
The invention also provides an electrochemical generator comprising a positive electrode, a non aqueous electrolyte and a negative electrode based on an alkaline metal or an alkalo-terrene metal, characterized in that the positive electrode contains an active material according to claim 1.
The invention will be better understood from the examples described hereinbelow by way of non-limiting illustrations with reference to the accompanying drawings in which figures 1 to 3 show discharge curves of electric cells in accordance with the invention.
Curves A, B and C in figure 1 relate to the discharge of three primary cells containing bismuth and silver double dichramate AgBi(Cr207)2 as their positive active material.
These cells are button cells of the type often designated 10 by the numerical symbol 44, i.e. diameter 11.4 mm and height .35 mm. The quantity of positive active material in these cells is less than that in cells of this type found commercially.
The difference in quantity is compensated by a shim. They contain 130 mg of an active mass containing 95% dichromate and 5% graphite compressed at 1.5 metric tonnes to obtain a thickness σ of 0.6 nm, the surface area of the electrode being 0.6 cm . The negative electrode contains a quantity of lithium whose capacity greatly exceeds the positive capacity. The electrolyte is a molar solution of lithium perchlorate in propylene carbonate.
The graph in figure 1 plots the voltage V in volts of the cells as a function of the duration t in hours of the discharge of such cells through a resistance of 150 kQ and at a temperature of 37°C. The capacity obtained is 30 mAh down to 2.5 volts for all three cells»and 45 to 50 mAh down to 2 volts. The corresponding specific capacities (by weight) are comparable to those obtained with silver chromate.
Curve D in figure 2 relates to the discharge of a cell wnich contains bismuth and thallium double dichromate TlBi(Cr2O7)2 as its positive active material.
The cell differs from those described hereinabove only by the nature of its positive active material and by the weight of the active mass which is 200 mg. The curve of the figure represents the discharge of the cell through a resistance of 150 ko and at ambient temperature. The capacity obtained is 30 mAh down to 2.5 V,and 54 mAh down to 2V. 492S9 Figure 3 shows a discharge curve E of a cell which contains bismuth and thallium double chromate TIBi (CrOi,) j as its positive active material.
The cell has the same geometrical characteristics as the 5 preceding cells. 560 mg of positive active mass containing % of graphite is inserted therein. Xt is discharged through a resistance of 62 kfl at ambient temperature. The discharge voltage is lower than that of the preceding cells but sufficient for devices which merely require a supply voltage higher than 10 2 volts. With this voltage as end voltage, a capacity of 85 mAh is obtained.
To make it easier to reproduce the invention, a nonlimiting description is given hereinafter of a method.of preparing each of the active materials in accordance with the invention.
Bismuth and silver double dichromate is obtained by preparing a saturated aqueous solution of CrCb at ambient temperature, i.e. about 20°C. 800 g of solid bismuth nitrate Bi (NQ3) >5H;>0 is added per litre of solution. The mixture is shaken for about an hour, then small quantities of silver dichromate Ag2Cr2O? are added so as to make the atomic ratio between the silver and the bismuth equal to one, i.e. 356 g of silver dichromate for 800 g of bismuth nitrate. The reaction mixture is shaken for about 24 hours to obtain optimum effi25 ciency i.e. of about 95%. The solid is filtered and washed with a solvent such as acetone or tetrahydrofuran - water would cause hydrolysis - then dried,preferably in an oven under vacuum conditions.
Bismuth and thallium double dichromate can be obtained by the same method, replacing the silver dichromate by the corresponding quantity of thallium dichromate.
Simple washing in water transforms the bismuth and thallium double dichromate into bismuth and thallium double chromate. of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described.
