摘要:
To provide a molten salt battery which is highly safe and has long charge/discharge cycle life. The molten salt battery of the present invention includes a negative electrode 1 in which a negative electrode active material 12 is predominantly composed of carbon such as hard carbon. The negative electrode active material 12 is surface-treated for imparting hydrophilicity to the negative electrode active material 12 to improve the affinity for the molten salt. Further, a transition metal such as iron is added to the negative electrode active material 12 predominantly composed of hard carbon in order to enhance the affinity for the active material. The molten salt battery has higher safety in production and use and longer charge/discharge cycle life than conventional molten salt batteries using metallic sodium as an electrode.

According to this production method, the water content of a mixture of a chromium oxide (Cr2O3) powder and a sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) powder is brought to 1000 ppm or less, and the mixture is heated in an inert gas atmosphere at a calcination temperature (850 DEG C.) where the sodium carbonate and the chromium oxide undergo a calcination reaction. Sodium chromite is thereby obtained.

摘要:
A separator of a molten salt battery made of a porous resin sheet. The separator is improved in wettability to a molten salt by giving hydrophilicity to the resin sheet. In the case of a fluororesin sheet, the sheet is impregnated with water, and irradiated with ultraviolet rays so that C—F bonds in the fluororesin are cleaved and the resultant reacts with water to generate hydrophilic groups, such as OH groups, in each surface layer thereof. The separator gains hydrophilicity through the hydrophilic groups. The separator made of the resin can be made into a bag form. In a molten salt battery having the bag-form separator, the growth of a dendrite is prevented.

A plurality of rectangular plate-like negative electrodes and a plurality of rectangular plate-like positive electrodes are laterally stacked so as to face each other alternately with rectangular plate-like separators being respectively interposed therebetween, and are housed in a battery container formed of an aluminum alloy. The inner surface of the battery container is insulated by forming an alumite coating film thereon. Rectangular tabs (lead wires) for drawing a current from the positive electrodes are connected to one another via a tab lead, and rectangular tabs for drawing a current from the negative electrodes are connected to one another via a tab lead.

Provided is a molten salt battery which can be stably charged and discharged. A separator 3 composed of a rectangular plate-shaped glass cloth and containing a molten salt is interposed between a positive electrode 1 and a negative electrode 2 having a rectangular plate shape to form a power generating element X. A battery container 5 is configured to be substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped. A non-flexible presser plate 4b pressed by a spring 4a arranged at a negative electrode 2 side in the battery container 5 substantially evenly disperses pressing force from the spring 4a and presses the negative electrode 2 downward. As a result of the reaction, a bottom wall 52 of the battery container presses the positive electrode 1 upward so that no dead space is generated even when a plurality of batteries are combined.

The active material film 43 contains an active material composed of a Sn—Na alloy. The active material film 22 and the active material film 43 occlude and emit Na ions of the molten salt. Thereby, provided are a negative electrode material for a battery, the negative electrode material having higher hardness on a surface side (active material side) than a Na negative electrode during the operation of the battery, suppressing the formation of Na dendrites.
摘要:
A separator (3) of a molten salt battery is impregnated with a molten salt that serves as the electrolyte. The molten salt contains, as cations, at least one kind of ions selected from among quaternary ammonium ions, imidazolium ions, imidazolinium ions, pyridinium ions, pyrrolidinium ions, piperidinium ions, morpholinium ions, phosphonium ions, piperazinium ions and sulfonium ions in addition to sodium ions. These cations do not have adverse effects on a positive electrode (1). In addition, the melting point of the molten salt, which contains sodium ions and the above-mentioned cations, is significantly lower than the operating temperature of sodium-sulfur batteries, said operating temperature being 280-360 DEG C. Consequently, the molten salt battery is capable of operating at lower temperatures than sodium-sulfur batteries.
