Glass electrolytes and some of their applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7163705
Electrolyte tubes have been fabricated from some high-soda glasses in the Na/sub 2/O-ZrO/sub 2/-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-SiO/sub 2/ system. Using these tubes, small-scale Na/S cells have been built and tested. Test results are presented, as a by-product of the sodium-ion-conducting-glass work, a miniature reference electrode/sensor with high-soda glass membrane has been developed. The reference electrode/sensor has been used to measure thermodynamically defined sodium activity for the temperature range of 100-600/sup 0/C in many different electrochemical systems.
