Lithium aluminate batteries

Most battery types employed are immobilized or matrix electrolytes. Fine powders of boron nitride, lithium aluminate, and so on, are used as immobilizing agents and matrixes are manufactured from ceramic fabrics, such as boron nitride, stabilized zirconia, and so on.

The Li-SOCl2 battery consists of a lithium-metal foil anode, a porous carbon cathode, a porous non-woven glass or polymeric separator between them, and an electrolyte containing thionyl chloride and a soluble salt, usually lithium tetrachloro-aluminate. Thionyl chloride serves as both the cathode active material and the elec-... 

The alkali metals—lithium, sodium, and potassium—are logical choices for anodes in a sulfur-based electrochemical cell. All three have been incorporated into cells, and lithium and sodium remain under serious consideration. The lithium-sulfur combination is the topic of another chapter in this volume and will not be discussed further. Two types of sodium-sulfur cells have been constructed. One type uses thin-walled glass capillaries as a cell divider, and the other uses various sorts of ionically conducting sodium aluminate for this purpose. Of the two, the latter seems to hold the most promise and certainly has generated the most interest and enthusiasm (1). Because of the unique properties of the solid electrolyte cell separator this battery is also probably the most interesting from a purely scientific point of view.
