Post-test observations on CSPL cells

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7163715
The sulfur electrode from Chloride Silent Power Limited (CSPL) sodium/sulfur cells has been extensively studied as one part of our post-test analysis program at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The sulfur in electrodes from charged cells tended to settle in the base of the electrode, but this tendency was dependent on the density of graphite fibers in the cylindrical section of the electrode. Analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy was used to measure polarization-induced compositional gradients for rapidly cooled discharged cells. Quantitative determinations were also made of the gases within the sulfur electrode, and the composition of these gases was found to change with cycling.
