Abstract
The performance of a sodium conducting glass (40.7% Na2O, 40.2% SiO2, 10.8% Al2O3, 8.3% ZrO2) used as membrane separator in a Na/S(IV) chloroaluminate cell is studied.
ChemInform Abstract
The performance of a sodium conducting glass (40.7% Na2O, 40.2% SiO2, 10.8% Al2O3, 8.3% ZrO2) used as membrane separator in a Na/S(IV) chloroaluminate cell is studied. The results of weight loss and open-circuit voltage measurements show that the glass is compatible with AlCl3-NaCl melts of varying acidity. However, the charge retention of the cell is very poor and further work is necessary to improve the charge-discharge behavior of such cells.
