Abstract:
Methods and compositions for forming porous ceramic articles are provided. The method is forming a composition including liquid siloxanes, ceramic particles, a catalyst, and a pore-former; shaping the composition; curing the composition to form a green body; volatilizing the pore-former before or after curing the composition; and firing the green body. The pore-former is a silicon-bearing agent with an average molecular weight under 1300 grams per mole, or a molecule with a molecular weight under 1,000 grams per mole and a freezing point between −40° C. and 25° C. that is soluble in the liquid. The composition comprises liquid siloxanes, ceramic particles, a catalyst, and a pore-former, which is an agent with an average molecular weight under 1300 grams per mole or a molecule with a molecular mass under 1,000 grams per mole and a freezing point between −40° C. and 25° C. that is soluble in the liquid.
Abstract:
A cathode composition is described that includes a first element selected from nickel or cobalt; a second element M selected from iron or cobalt, wherein said second element M is contained within a sulfide composition MxSy, wherein the ratio of x and y is between 0.5:1 and 1.5:1; at least one first alkali metal halide; and an electrolyte salt comprising a second alkali metal halide and a metal halide, wherein the electrolyte salt has a melting point in a range from about 150° C. to about 300° C. The molar ratio of the first element to the sulfur of the sulfide composition is between 1.5:1 and 50:1. An energy storage device comprising the cathode composition is also disclosed.
