Lithium/fluorinated carbon cell for high-rate pulsatile applications

摘要

The current invention describes a lithium/carbon monofluoride (Li/CF x ) cell capable of delivering sufficient power to supply an ICD or similar demanding device. The cell exhibits the typical excellent long-term stability and predictability of the CF x system, as well as its high energy density (greater than about 300 Ah/cc, greater than about 600 Wh/cc). Additionally, the cell is capable of delivering about 0.5 W/cc of cathode volume for greater than 5 seconds with a voltage above 1.70 V (Fig. 1). The following invention embodiments can be applied individually or in conjunction with each other.
