Lithium-iron disulfide cathode formulation having high pyrite content and low conductive additives

摘要

The invention relates to primary electrochemical cells having a jellyroll electrode assembly that includes a lithium-based negative electrode, a positive electrode with a coating comprising iron disulfide deposited on a current collector and a polymeric separator. More particularly, the invention relates to a cell designs and cathode formulations incorporating specific types of conductors to improve cell performance.
