<p>An alkali metal energy conversion device has a solid electrolyte member separating respective electrode spaces, the electrolyte member being conductive to ions of the alkali metal. Seals between the electrolyte member and an electronically conductive current collecting member of the device are formed via an insulating member. The insulating member is joined to the electrolyte member by means of a hardened sealant incorporating glass powder at an interface between the members. In making the device, dry powder incorporating glass powder is moulded and compressed to form a self-supporting dry mass of the powder having a shape substantially conforming to the interface between the members. The electrolyte member and the insulating member are then brought together into the joining position with the dry mass of the powder at this interface. The members are heated to melt the glass powder to join the members.</p> |
