TY - JOUR AU1 - Kang, H. Y. AU2 - Bro, P. AB - A capillary flow viscometer was developed to measure the viscosity of high vapor pressure organic solvent electrolytes over a wide temperature range. Inert electrodes and associated circuits were used to observe the passage of the meniscus through the viscometer. The viscometer was kept inside a sealed aluminum container to minimize the pressure differential between the test solution and the ambient and to contain the high vapor pressure solutions if the viscometer should rupture. Measurements were made on sulfur dioxide/organic solvent electrolytes containing lithium bromide at temperatures between −60° and 70°C and at vapor pressures to 15 atm. The viscosity varied between 0.6 and 22 cp, being higher the lower the temperature and the lower the concentration. The activation energy calculated from the temperature effect was about 4 kcal/mole for electrolyte compositions close to those used in batteries. The data indicated the occurrence of strong ion/solvent interactions in this system.
