Effect of Cathode Microstructure on Electrochemical Properties of Sodium Nickel-Iron Chloride Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Sodium metal chloride batteries have become a substantial focus area in the research on prospective alternatives for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) since they are more stable than lithium ion batteries. This study demonstrates the effects of the cathode microstructure on the electrochemical properties of sodium metal chloride cells. The cathode powder is manufactured in the form of granules composed of a metal active material and NaCl, and the ionic conductivity is attained by filling the interiors of the granules with a second electrolyte (NaAlCl4). Thus, the microstructure of the cathode powder had to be optimized to ensure that the second electrolyte effectively penetrated the cathode granules. The microstructure was modified by selecting the NaCl size and density of the cathode
