Research on electrodes and electrolyte for the Ford sodium-sulfur battery. Annual report, June 30, 1976-October 31, 1977
Research findings at the University of Utah are reported on the fabrication of pre-sintered ..beta..''-alumina tubing, sintering processes for ..beta..''alumina, characterization of ..beta..''-alumina, and development of a metal clad electronic ceramic (rutile) container or current collector; additional results on topics treated in prior reports are also given. Research reported from Ford Research Staff covers testing of three series of metal prototype cells, development of procedures for ..cap alpha..- to ..beta..''-alumina and container sealing, sulfur electrode development (shape and surface treatment), materials screening and development of containers including surface treatment and coating, and evaluation of battery requirements (energy, power, volume, weight) for passenger cars. Research reported by RPI covers the kinetics of the sulfur electrode, physical property measurements, mass transport studies, mechanisms of ceramic degradation, and development of new seal glasses. 125 figures, 52 tables.
