液态金属高温电池密封材料的分析-analysis of sealing material for liquid metal high temperature battery.docxVIP

AbstractLiquid Metal batteries (Liquid Metal Battery) is a kind of cheap and efficient large-scale energy storage device that developed in recent years at MIT. It has low stored energy prices, simple electrode structure, easy to amplification and production, small charge/ion transport resistance, high charge and discharge rate, high power density, electrode intangible variable, no dendrite growth, long running life and high maintenance cost, These Advantages make it’s a potential to become a large energy storage. But because use of active metal as electrode and is working in high temperature operation, Therefore It must isolate the inside battery from the outside air, which requires the liquid metal battery sealing material has good air tightness, insulation, thermal stability and chemical stability, etc. So sealing become one of the difficulties technical in the development of liquid metal batteries. This paper ues liquid metal battery technology as the background, research and develop liquid metal batteries sealing material that can meet the sealing requirements.This article is to design and optimize of bismuth acid salt sealing glass formula, discuss the influence of composition to the thermal stability as well as the characteristics of temperature, Selected the glass formula meet the requirements that is the glass transitiontemperature (Tg) ﹤ operating temperature of the liquid metal batteries ﹤ liquidtemperature (Tm), further we also selected the glass that meet the requirement which the coefficient of thermal expansion (TEC) of seal material can be allow between 14.933×10-6K-1 to 17.067×10-6K-1. Combined with the two conditions, it is concluded that only the formula which include bismuth oxide 77%, copper oxide 2%, zinc oxide 2%, alumina 2%, boric oxide 16.1% and silicon oxide 0.9% (GA-5) that satisfy the above tworequirements. It thermal expansion coefficient is 15.22×10-6K-1, Tg is 404 ℃, Tm is 512 ℃.And then explore the crystallization of GA - 5 wi
