Active Energy Storage Materials for Integrated Cell Stacks.
Abstract
The objective of the program was to develop suitable inorganic separator materials capable of continuous and protracted operation in contact with molten lithium metal and a fused LiCl-KCl eutectic. The report describes the preparation and properties of seven materials based on the cations Li and Ca, and aluminate and zirconate anions. It also describes the manufacture of test pieces from the seven materials and the results of their compatibility testing in lithium metal and lithium chloride-potassium chloride eutectic at elevated temperatures. The most promising material of the seven tested was calcium zirconate. It exhibited good resistance to lithium metal and lithium chloride-potassium chloride eutectic up to nearly 600C. The manufacture of cups of various porosities made from calcium zirconate is also described, and their conductivities in the eutectic are given. An extensive bibliography is included. (Author)
