Abstract

During high-temperature storage, glass corrosion in glass-to-metal feedthroughs can limit the lifetimes of lithium batteries designed to operate at ambient temperatures. Ampule tests have been conducted to simulate glass corrosion for Li/So2, Li/SOCl2, and Li/SOCl2 + BrCl batteries. In all lithium battery systems tested, lithium metal has been identified as the source of glass corrosion. On the basis of thermodynamic and kinetic stability, glass compositions have been developed that minimize the corrosion problem in all lithium battery systems tested.
