Short description (English)

Development of â-alumina-based ceramic electrolytes for sodium nickel chloride batteries with increased mechanical stability and conductance

Abstract (German)

The goals of this project are to improve reliability and performance of tubular ceramic electrolytes for industrial sodium nickel chloride batteries operating at elevated temperatures (e.g. 300°C). To enable access to new market segments and reduce production costs, the material properties of the β##-alumina electrolyte need to be improved in order to decrease rejection rates and increase the sodium conductance of the electrolyte.
