Passivation is a necessary intermediary layer that it inhibits the immediate reaction of the solid lithium anode with the liquid thionyl chloride cathode, thus providing for the stability and very low self-discharge (<3% typical) of the lithium thionyl chloride battery.
It is a self-assembled, thin, highly resistant layer of lithium chloride crystals on the surface of the lithium metal. This passivation layer partially blocks the chemical reaction between the solid lithium (anode) and the liquid thionyl chloride (cathode), inhibiting the battery chemical reaction from generating the electrons (electrical current).
Since passivation begins to occur as soon as the lithium metal battery cell is manufactured, it occurs anywhere the cell or battery pack using the cell is located. Thus passivation is occurring naturally in the battery while in transit, in storage, at the shop, at the rig, or downhole even while operating, if current loads are very low. Why?
Lithium Battery Passivation and De-Passivation Whitepaper : Most of our Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD) battery packs for the oil and gas industry are built using Lithium Thionyl Chloride cells. Cells utilizing this chemistry suffer from passivation and must be de-passivated before use.
Higher temperature causes a thicker passivation layer, thus storing at cooler (room) temperature helps mitigate passivation layer growth. Consequently, using fresher batteries helps assure a less resistive passivation layer has formed in the battery. The passivation layer is diminished by appropriate electrical current flow through the cell.
A battery’s self-discharge rate is afected by numerous variables, including the cell’s current discharge potential, the purity and quality of the raw materials, but mainly due to the passivation efect. Passivation occurs when a thin film of lithium chloride (LiCl) forms on the surface of the lithium anode to limit chemical reactions.
Long-life batteries harness the passivation effect
Here, the energy drain is enough to prematurely exhaust a primary cell, thus requiring use of an energy harvesting device combined with an industrial-grade rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery to generate high pulses.
