The concept of a solid state energy storage cell has been proven technically feasible by numerous researchers over a period of at least 30 years. [1] Good reviews are available on the state of the art today [2]. The related concept of a solid state rechargeable cell has also been proven technically feasible [3,4]. This paper will describe advances made in primary and secondary solid state cell systems over a period of several years of development at Eveready Battery Co., Inc. Additionally, an attempted experimental verification of “Composite Electrode Theory” proposed by S. Atlung [5] is made.
