Preparation of silver vanadium oxide cathodes using AgVO3 and V2O5 as starting materials

摘要

Various methods for preparing a cathode having as active material silver vanadium oxide formed by chemical addition, reaction or otherwise intimate contact of a silver-containing compound and a vanadium-containing compound present in either an anhydrous mixture or a gel solution which may generate a preparation of silver vanadium oxide, is described. The present invention provides alternate preparation techniques for improving chemical control in the formation of a cathode for incorporation into an electrochemical cell.
