TY - JOUR AU - Bennion, Douglas N. AB - The feasibility of a room‐temperature, nonaqueous organic solvent, electrochemical cell that can deliver 10 mA/cm2 at 4V has been demonstrated. The cell consists of a lithium negative, a graphite compound positive electrode, and a lithium perchlorate‐dimethyl sulfite electrolyte solution. The cell develops an open‐circuit potential of approximately 4.5V. Apparently the lithium perchlorate‐dimethyl sulfite electrolyte undergoes no or least slow oxidation or reduction within a 4.5V range.To date, the maximum charge storage has been 90 coulombs/g of graphite. Cycles of 1 hr charge and 1 hr discharge at about 3 mA/cm2 have been repeated up to 33 times. Failure was apparently due to overcharging and graphite disintegration. On wet stand, from 25 to 50% of the cell capacity is lost over one day.
