Battery with low temperature molten salt (LTMS) cathode |
摘要 |
A battery is provided with an associated method for transporting metal-ions in the battery using a low temperature molten salt (LTMS). The battery comprises an anode, a cathode formed from a LTMS having a liquid phase at a temperature of less than 150° C., a current collector submerged in the LTMS, and a metal-ion permeable separator interposed between the LTMS and the anode. The method transports metal-ions from the separator to the current collector in response to the LTMS acting simultaneously as a cathode and an electrolyte. More explicitly, metal-ions are transported from the separator to the current collector by creating a liquid flow of LTMS interacting with the current collector and separator. |

1. A battery with a low temperature molten salt (LTMS) cathode, the battery comprising:
an anode configured to accept and release metal-ions; a cathode comprising:
an active material exclusively formed from a LTMS having a liquid phase at a temperature of less than 150° C.;a cathode current collector submerged in the LTMS; a metal-ion permeable separator interposed between the LTMS and the anode; and, wherein the LTMS is, simultaneously with being the cathode active material, an electrolyte transporting metal-ions from the separator to the current collector. |
