Abstract

PURPOSE:To heighten airtightness in a cathode chamber by using the first and the second alpha-alumina annuli so as to increase junction strength with a cathode tube. CONSTITUTION:The first alpha-alumina annulus 2-1 has a groove 12 on the upper surface, and the second annulus 2-2 has a projection 13 on the lower surface. The annulus 2-1 is connected to the upper edge of a solid electrolyte tube 1 by means of glass solder 11, and the groove 12 and the projection 13 of the annulus 2-2 are embedded together through an Al group 14. Furthermore, a cathode cover 3 is arranged between the annuli 2-1 and 2-2 through Al 15-1 and 15-2, and an anode 4 is arranged on the lower surface of the annulus 2-2 through Al 16. They are connected by means of thermal pressure so as to be in one united body. Though airtightness and junction strength are sufficient by means of Al layers 14 and 15-1, since the effect can be heightened further by means of the Al layer 15-2, Na-S battery having the long service life and excellent airtightness can be obtained.

Prior Art and Its Problems In a sodium-sulfur battery, sodium as a cathode active material and sulfur as an anode active material are separated by a solid electrolyte tube conductive to sodium ions such as β′′-alumina. It is a completely sealed secondary battery that operates under hot dust conditions of approximately 350'C. The conventional structure of this sodium-sulfur battery will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Figures 3 and 4
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a solid electrolyte tube, and two α-alumina rings 2 at the upper end are joined with glass solder 11. 3 is a cathode cover, and 4 is an anode cover.
Heat-pressure bonding is carried out in air at a temperature of 20'C. The anode chamber in the gap between the outside of the solid electrolyte tube 1 and the inside of the battery case 6 joined to the anode lid 4 is filled with an anode impregnated with an anode conductive material such as graphite felt! The active proboscis 7 is filled with sulfur, and the cathode chamber in the solid electrolyte tube 1 is filled with sodium as the cathode active material 8 impregnated with metal fibers. This cathode chamber is sealed by a cathode lid 3, and a cathode terminal tube 9 is passed through the upper surface 10 of the cathode chamber.

The conventional sodium-sulfur battery as described above is manufactured by bonding the solid electrolyte tube 1 and the α-alumina ring 2 with glass solder, and then heating the α-alumina ring 2 to about 600'C.
Since the cathode cover 3 and anode cover 4 are thermo-pressure bonded to the upper and lower surfaces via the aluminum layer 5, the cathode cover 3 and anode cover 4 are oxidized under this heating, and the bond strength increases due to continuous use over a long period of time. There were cases where the bonding area deteriorated and the joints peeled off. In particular, when the cathode active material 8 rises to the upper space of the cathode chamber during battery operation, the heat-pressure joint is corroded by the cathode active material 8, resulting in poor airtightness.
