Electrode for use in a high temperature rechargeable molten salt battery and method of making said electrode

摘要

Cathode or anode electrodes are prepared for high temperature, rechargeableolten salt batteries using 80 to 90 weight percent of their respective active powdered components mixed with 10 to 20 weight percent powdered electrolyte salt. The powdered electrode mixture is then spread evenly onto an electrical current collector sheet or foil. The current collector containing the electrode mixture is then heated under a dry inert gas atmosphere to a temperature at or near the melting point of the electrolyte salt.
