✦ Synopsis

Concern in respect of the safety of lithium oxyhalide cells has led to a search for alternative anode materials. A well-documented alternative is calcium; but this corrodes more rapidly than does lithium. This corrosion is a fundamental shortcoming of the calcium-thionyl chloride system and must be improved before exploitation is feasible.

We have demonstrated that modification of the electrolyte can result in a considerable decrease in the calcium corrosion rate.

Room temperature (RT) and -30 "C discharges of hermetically sealed, D-sized calcium thionyl chloride cells, prepared with Sr(AlCl& electrolyte containing 20% added SO\*, were carried out on cells after storage for various lengths of time at R.T. and at 55 "C. The performance of these cells was consi
