Conductive Ceramics for Use in the Na-S Battery

Ceramics with compositions in the systems Na₂O-Li₂O-Al₂O₃ have been investigated for application in the Na-S battery. The mechanical and electrical properties of these ceramics have been determined and some optimum compositions have been tested in Na-Na cells. The influence of sintering temperature and time on the properties of these ionically conductive ceramics is discussed.
