Sealed lithium-sodium electrochemical cell with sodium beta- alumina electrolyte

摘要

A sealed lithium-sodium electrochemical cell with sodium beta- alumina ion-conductive electrolyte is described which comprises a casing, an anode positioned within the casing, the anode selected from the class consisting of lithium-sodium, lithium-sodium as an amalgam, and lithium- sodium in a non-aqueous electrolyte, a cathode positioned within the casing, the cathode functioning with a lithium-sodium type anode and a solid sodium beta-alumina ion-conductive electrolyte, and a solid sodium beta-alumina ion-conductive electrolyte positioned within the casing between the anode and cathode and in contact with both the anode and cathode
