✦ Synopsis

The cell reaction of FeS to J-phase and J-to X-phase during discharge has been noted in calorimetric measurements for cells containing LiCl-KCI-LiF electrolyte.

The effect of varying electrolyte composition on cell heat generation was investigated. For cells containing no potassium ion, in which the formation of J-phase is impossible, the endothermic effect associated with the J-to-X transition is not observed.

The primary objective for 1983 is to determine the rate of thermal energy generation by cells at various rates of discharge and operating temperatures. Emphasis of this third phase of the project will be placed on cells containing LiAl and LidSi negative electrodes and iron disulfide positive electrodes. The results obtained for all cells to date will be processed to yield intensive properties useful for general design purposes.
