Review Description

This article gives an overview of the important properties and design characteristics of electrolyte used in thermally activated (thermal) batteries. The basic physical properties of the main compositions are reviewed. The properties of electrolytes such as melting point, ionic conductivity, surface tension, density, thermal characteristics, and moisture sensitivity were analyzed in relation with the functioning of the batteries. Solubility data of alkali metals, sulphides, and oxides were compiled and analyzed. The important parameters of separator pellets are discussed in terms of both electrical and mechanical properties as they pertain to thermal-battery design and functioning. A number of lower-melting electrolytes are presented along with key physical properties for possible use in applications requiring lower operating temperatures such as borehole power supplies.
