【発明の詳細な説明】 産業上の利用分野 本発明はリチウム系熱電池に関するものである。[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a lithium-based thermal battery.

有率が後述の理由により80wt%程度であった。A conventional lithium-based thermal battery is a molten salt type high-temperature secondary battery that uses metallic lithium or a lithium alloy as a negative electrode active material and iron disulfide or iron sulfide as a positive electrode active material. The electrolyte is mixed with HgO powder to form an electrolyte layer between the electrodes. Conventional thermal batteries use a mixture of potassium chloride and lithium chloride as an electrolyte, and the content of the electrolyte in the electrolyte layer is about 80 wt % for reasons described below.
発明が解決しようとする課題
リチウム系fi′@池は、電解液をKgQ粉末と混合し
て極間に固定保持しているため、電解液に電極を浸漬し
たような他の電池に比べ活物質当りの電解液量がきわめ
て少ない、一般に電解液量を少なくすると、電池の放電
電圧や活物質利用率が低下し、電池特性が低下する。こ
のため電解液量は多いほどよい。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In lithium-based fi'@ cells, the electrolyte is mixed with KgQ powder and held fixed between the electrodes, so compared to other batteries in which the electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte, the active material is The amount of electrolyte per unit is extremely small. Generally, when the amount of electrolyte is reduced, the discharge voltage and active material utilization rate of the battery decrease, and the battery characteristics deteriorate. Therefore, the larger the amount of electrolyte, the better.
しかし熱電池の場合、単セルを数十枚積層して完備電池
を構成しているため、電解液を増加し過ぎて電解液層が
軟弱になり過ぎると、単セルの正極板と負極板とが接触
したり、電解液が極間からあふれて積層セルの共通電解
液になる等の問題があった。However, in the case of thermal batteries, dozens of single cells are stacked together to form a complete battery, so if the electrolyte layer becomes too soft due to too much electrolyte, the positive and negative electrode plates of the single cell may There were problems such as the electrolyte overflowing from between the electrodes and becoming the common electrolyte for the laminated cells.
そこで従来は、電解液量を電池特性に悪影響の無い範囲
で、できるだけ少なくするものとし、電解液層において
電解液がElOwt%、 )4gOが40wt%という

たため、電解液の量を増減させる検討は詳しく行われて
いなかった。Therefore, in the past, the amount of electrolytic solution was kept as small as possible without adversely affecting the battery characteristics, and a composition was used in which the electrolytic solution was composed of ElOwt% and )4gO was 40wt%. Conventionally, there were no practical problems with this composition, so no detailed studies were conducted on increasing or decreasing the amount of electrolyte.

行うと電解液不足の症状を呈し、電池電圧および活物質
利用率が急激に低下することがわかった。The inventor conducted research on increasing the battery energy density by further increasing the current density of the thermal battery discharge, and found that with the conventional electrolyte layer composition, the battery characteristics deteriorate significantly at ultra-high rate discharge. . In other words, the conventional composition does not cause a problem at a discharge current density of about 0.3 A/-, which is the general discharge current density of conventional thermal batteries, but when ultra-high rate discharge of I A/- or more is carried out, there is a problem of electrolyte shortage. It was found that symptoms occurred and the battery voltage and active material utilization rate decreased rapidly.

との混合物を用いるものとしな。The following single cell test was conducted to investigate how to increase the electrolyte content of the working electrolyte layer and improve battery characteristics. A single cell test is a single cell consisting of one positive electrode plate and one negative electrode plate, sandwiched between copper blocks heated to a predetermined temperature, and discharged in an argon atmosphere to determine the effect of the amount of electrolyte on battery characteristics and the electrolyte. This test examines the strength of the layer. At this time, the electrolyte composition is a mixture of lithium fluoride, lithium chloride, and lithium bromide instead of the conventional mixture of potassium chloride and lithium chloride.

物質利用率も向上した。ただし電解液の含有率を85w
t%以上にすると電解液層がきわめて軟弱になるため、
完備電池では前述のような問題が生じるおそれがある。The results are shown in FIG. 1. As is clear from the figure, as the electrolyte content increased, the discharge voltage of the battery improved and the active material utilization rate also improved. However, the electrolyte content is 85w.
If it exceeds t%, the electrolyte layer becomes extremely weak.
A complete battery may cause the above-mentioned problems.
超高率放電において電解液層中の電解液を増加させると
電池特性が向上する原因は、以下のように考えられる。The reason why battery characteristics improve when the amount of electrolyte in the electrolyte layer is increased in ultra-high rate discharge is considered to be as follows.
従来の熱電池は、放電とともに内部抵抗が著しく増大す

電解液成分が固層析出するためである。このとき電解液

分の極板中での固層析出現象が生じないため電解液量を
増加すると放電特性が向上するのは、放電生成物の析出
が遅れるためであると考えられる。In conventional thermal batteries, the internal resistance increases significantly as the battery discharges, and this is due to solid phase precipitation of discharge products and electrolyte components that exceed the melting limit inside the electrodes. When the amount of electrolyte is increased at this time, the amount of dissolved material increases, which delays the precipitation of the substance and reduces the increase in internal resistance of the electrode. Furthermore, with a new electrolyte that is a mixture of lithium fluoride, lithium chloride, and lithium bromide, unlike conventional electrolytes, solid phase precipitation of electrolyte components does not occur in the electrode plates, so when the amount of electrolyte is increased, It is thought that the reason why the discharge characteristics are improved is that the precipitation of discharge products is delayed.

有率が60wt%及びaswt%の熱電池を製作した。Iron disulfide was used as the positive electrode plate, a mixture of lithium fluoride, lithium chloride, and lithium bromide was used as the electrolyte, and 20 single cells were stacked with a heat generating agent in between, using a lithium aluminum alloy as the negative electrode plate. In a lithium-based thermal battery housed in a battery case, a thermal battery A of the present invention was manufactured in which the electrolyte content of the electrolyte layer was reduced to 75 wt%.
Next, a thermal battery having basically the same configuration as the AT battery and containing an electrolyte of 60 wt% and aswt% was fabricated.

電圧が急激に低下したものである。These cells were discharged at -40°C with a discharge current density of 1^/-. The results are shown in Figure 2, which shows that thermal battery A of the present invention has superior characteristics such as higher discharge voltage and larger capacity than thermal batteries B and C for comparison. I understand. In thermal battery B, since the amount of electrolyte was too small, the internal resistance increased significantly due to the precipitation of discharge products, and the battery voltage and active material utilization rate decreased. In thermal battery C, the amount of electrolyte was too large and the electrolyte overflowed from the electrolyte layer and became a common electrolyte, causing a short-circuit current to flow within the battery and causing a sudden drop in battery voltage.
