Dataset on a primary lithium battery cell with a ferroelectric Li-glass electrolyte and MnO cathode.

Here we show the electrochemical data for a Ferroelectric Electrolyte Battery (FEB) Li/ferroelectric Li-glass electrolyte (LiBaClO) in cellulose/γ-MnO pouch-cell with (2.5 × 2.5 cm) discharged with a green LED load. The LiBaClO electrolyte was synthesized and ground in ethanol. A cellulose matrix was dipped into the Li-glass/ethanol slurry. The γ-MnO based cathode was doctor bladed onto a carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector. The cell was assembled in an Ar-filled glove-box and it was not sealed and, therefore, it remained inside the glove-box while discharging with a green LED at approximately 24 °C for 334 days (>11 months) corresponding to 764 mAhg of the active cathode and to 224 mAhg of the electrolyte. The maximum capacity of γ-MnO is 209 mAhg and of the MnO in the commercial cell is 308 mAhg, corresponding to LiMnO; therefore, the capacity of the FEB is 370% the capacity of the γ-MnO and 250% the capacity of the MnO in the commercial cell. Moreover, the experimental capacity of the electrolyte minus the maximum capacity of the γ-MnO is 163 mAhg of the electrolyte. The potential difference between anode and cathode in a diode is non-linear and dependent on the input current and, therefore, the plateaus in the potential vs time curves do not correspond to thermodynamic equilibria of the electrochemical cell energy source. Nevertheless, the maximum output current as well as the FEB cell's discharge profile may be determined with an LED and compared with traditional battery cells' profiles. The present data might be used by the electrochemical (in particular, battery), electrostatic and ferroelectric materials researchers and industrials for comparative analysis. Furthermore, it can be reused to calculate the maximum energy stored electrostatically in these devices.
