OSTI ID:7068161
A solid electrolyte thermal cell is described comprising an alkali metal anode, a sulfur cathode, and a solid separator of an alkali metal halide, constituting the electrolyte, interposed between said anode and cathode and in contact therewith. The cell may serve as a low current voltage source at room temperature or as a source delivering relatively high current at high temperatures below the melting point of the separator.
