(JP3062464-A)      A lithium storage battery consists of a lithium or lithium alloy anode, an organic solvent and lithium salt electrolytic soln. or lithium salt and polymer complex solid electrolyte and a cathode of LiV3O8 in amorphous form.    Pref. the amorphous LiV3O8 is prepd. at room temp. from aq. LiOH with V2O5 in ratio 2/3; the cathode may contain conductive additives such as graphite or binding additives such as Teflon or polypropylene; the lithium is alloyed with Al, Cd, Sn, Pb, Cr, Bi or Mn; the lithium salt may be LiClO4, LiAsF6, LiBF4 or LiCF3SO3; the organic solvents are propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, dimethoxyethane, methylformate, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran or sulpholane; and the polymer is polyethylene oxide, polypropy.ene oxide or mixts..    ADVANTAGE -   High specific capacity and specific energy values are obtd. using an amorphous LiV3O8 cathode, e.g., 400 Ah/kg and 1032 Wh/kg respectively. Storage batteries according to the invention withstand a higher number of recharge cycles. @(9pp Dwg.No.1/4)@    (US5039582-A)      High energy, high power Li storage battery comprises an Li (alloy) anode, a non-aq. electrolytic soln. contg. LiCl04, LiA5F6, LiBF4, or LiCF3 SO3 in one or more organic solvents e.g. THF, 2-methyl-THF sulphonate, etc. or a solid electrolyte consisting of an Li salt/polymeric material complex, and a cathode based on an amorphous Li-V oxide corresp. to the stoichiometric formula LiV308 prepd. by reaction of LiOH with V205 at room temp. The anode is pref. an alloy with Al, Cd, Sn, Pb, Bi, Cr or Mg. The polymer is polyethylene oxide or polypropylene oxide.    ADVANTAGE -   Obtainable by means of a simple and economic process. Other advantages include as no breaking of the larger particles occurs following the intercalation/disintegration cycles, therefore no contact losses occur. (II) better contact is obtd. between active material and the conductive additive so that it is possible to apply very high currents and (III) electrolyte can reach into the innermost layers of the cathode therefore reducing polarisation phenomena. @(8ppom
