Battery sodium

Sodium batteries and cells are designed such that the electrolyte is solid and the electrodes are liquid. In hermetically sealed sodium-sulphur batteries, the sodium and sulphur electrodes are heated to a molten state (300 to 350 C)

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices in which fuels (e.g., hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and alkali metals), oxidants, and reaction products move into and out of a system of electrodes separated by an electrolyte. The reduction-oxidation reactions that take place generate a direct current while the materials are supplied to the cell. A number of transportation and other applications for this technology are being explored, partly because of the environmental benefits the reaction products have over those of fossil fuels. M86 fuel, a mixture of anhydrous and methyl hydrazines, is used in fuel cells including those used to generate electricity for some aircraft hydraulics systems. These fuel tanks are leak-tight, double-walled aluminium pressure vessels that contain up to 42 litres of M86.

The high working temperature of the sulfur-sodium batteries is necessitated not only by the desire to increase the conductivity of electrolyte but also by the need to operate with molten reactants and intermediate compounds. 

Porous and rough metals substrates are being extensively studied in the last few years like electrodes for lithium and sodium batteries [65, 69, 75].

Conducting polymers have also been proposed to store sodium as positive electrodes in sodium batteries. Most of the research on conducting polymers for sodium batteries has been done by Yang et al. [160-162]. An aniline-nitroaruline copolymer was prepared through a chemical oxidative polymerization and the as-prepared product was investigated as a cathode material for sodium batteries [160].

The superior mechanical properties of elastomeric electrolytes, combined with the simplicity of fabrication of thin separator films from these materials, has led to very active pursuit of solid state cells based on solid polymeric materials. However, the development of a novel class of solid state or nic positive electrodes which not only operate on an entirely new principle for energy storage, but have demonstrated performances in a number of instances exceeding those for intercalation electrodes in solid state hthium and sodium batteries. These new electrodes have been called solid redox polymerization electrodes (SRPE) and arc based on polysulfide polymers [-S(R) 0 (R) S-] where R is an organic radical such as CH3, QH, CF3, etc. The redox mechanism for the positive electrode is in essence a redox dimeriza-tion/scission reaction which occurs in two steps as...
