The proposed phase i research effort is directed towards the development of a practical high voltage rechargeable cell (na/beta"alumina/s(iv) in molten alcl(3) + nacl) for aircraft and missile applications. the emphasis will be placed on the development of a suitable hermetic seal and the selection… More

Feasibility of a thermal cell lithium/sulfur(iv) in an alcl*3*/licl melt will be investigated. this cell is related to the rechargeable sodium/sulfur(iv) battery system involving the molten alcl*3*/nacl melt and the b"-alumina separator. a solid lithium alloy anode will be substituted for molten… More

Novel low temperature chloraoaluminate melts which are resistant to strong oxidizing agents (e.g. SCl3AlCl4) and which possess a wide electrochemical window will be developed. This will be carried out by substituting an organic cation for the alkali metal cation in the alkali metal chloride-aluminum… More

Feasibility of double layer capacitors (DLC) utilizing two types of molten salts as electrolytes will be investigated. These double layer capacitors involve two high surface area carbon electrodes, a separator and molten salt electrolytes. They will operate in the range of temperatures from room… More
