摘要： It is an object to provide a molten salt battery which is capable of stably performing charging and discharging without using an internal elastic body for pressure contact as an essential constituent element. For achieving the object, the molten salt battery of the present invention includes: a molten salt battery body in which positive electrodes and negative electrodes are alternately stacked with a separator containing molten salt as an electrolyte interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and a battery case which is formed of a material having flexibility and hermetically covers the molten salt battery body while exposing only terminal parts from the positive electrode and negative electrode. When the battery case is brought into a negative pressure state at the inside, the battery case itself compresses the molten salt battery body in a stacking direction under external pressure based on atmospheric pressure.

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.

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.
