Embodiment
Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the present inventor is in order to be understood technical scheme of the present invention better, below by embodiment particularly, and is described in detail by reference to the accompanying drawings:
Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, a kind of sodium-sulphur battery of the present invention, comprise shell 1, electrolyte ceramics pipe 4, the bursting tube 8 of socket from outside to inside and store up sodium pipe 9.The anode chamber 400 that the radially inner side of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 is sodium-sulphur battery.Electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 and shell 1 are the cathode chamber 100 of sodium-sulphur battery between radially.Therefore bursting tube 8 and storage sodium pipe 9 all are positioned at anode chamber 400.The top of storage sodium pipe 9 is by the welded closure with negative pole seal cover 11.The top of storage sodium pipe 9 is Laser Welding or gas tungsten arc welding by the welding manner with negative pole seal cover 11.
Be filled with porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt 2 in cathode chamber 100, be filled with sulphur or sodium polysulfide in porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt 2.Be fixed with radially outward outstanding ceramic insulation ring 3 on the end face of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4, be provided with anodal sealing device 6 between ceramic insulation ring 3 and shell 1, by cathode chamber 100 sealings.Be provided with negative pole sealing ring 7 between the end face of negative pole seal cover 11 and ceramic insulation ring 3, by anode chamber 400 sealings.
9 effects of storage sodium pipe are storing liquid sodium metals, can adopt all good austenitic stainless steels of welding performance and rigidity, can with 11 welding of negative pole seal cover.The bottom of storage sodium pipe 9 adopts rectangular base.The bottom of storage sodium pipe 9 is provided with through hole 91.The diameter 0.3-1mm of through hole 91, flow to the flow velocity of bursting tube 8 in order to limit Liquid Sodium from storage sodium pipe 9.In order to guarantee to store up the intensity of sodium pipe 9 and the safe operation of sodium-sulphur battery, the wall thickness 0.8-1.5mm of storage sodium pipe 9.
Simultaneously, the bottom of storage sodium pipe 9 also is provided with filter course 92, and filter course 92 is mainly to be formed by the metallic fiber braiding, and particularly soft 304 or 316L stainless steel fibre braiding forms, metallic fiber diameter 8-20 micron.Filter course 92 effects are the high-melting-point contaminant particles of filtering in Liquid Sodium, such as sodium metal particulate of sodium carbonate particulate and not melting etc., prevent that through hole 91 is blocked, and prevent that these particles from entering the radial clearance 401 between bursting tube 8 and electrolyte ceramics pipe 4, and then cause this radial clearance 401 blocked, guarantee the smooth and easy inflow bursting tube 8 of Liquid Sodium, thereby prevent sodium-sulphur battery because electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 lost efficacy because can not get the supply of sufficient Liquid Sodium.
Bursting tube 8 is socketed in the outside of storage sodium pipe 9, and bursting tube 8 adopts fine aluminium or aluminium alloy, adopts cold drawn method to obtain, and wall thickness 0.5-1mm, to guarantee its intensity.Its role is to by the sodium in storage sodium pipe 9 and the sulphur content in cathode chamber 100 from.The internal diameter of bursting tube 8 is greater than the external diameter 0.6~1.2mm of storage sodium pipe 9, to control the amount of bursting tube 8 interior Liquid Sodium, thereby guarantees the safe operation of sodium-sulphur battery.In addition on the one hand, the end face of bursting tube 8 must be higher than the end face of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4, preferred mode is the end face higher than ceramic insulation ring 4, to stop when ceramic insulating tube 4 breaks, sodium infiltrates ceramic cathode chamber 100 from the top of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4, with the sulphur in cathode chamber 100, react.
Because the bottom of bursting tube 8 is rectangular base, and the bottom of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 is hemispheric, therefore, between the inwall of the bottom of bursting tube 8 and ceramic electrolysis tube 4 bottoms, resilient coating 5 will be set.The materials such as the adopted zirconia of resilient coating 5, silicon nitride, alumina powder, carbon dust, these materials can not with Liquid Sodium generation chemical reaction, sodium is not infiltrated, and insulation property are good.The effect of resilient coating 5 is to protect electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 bottoms; reduce bursting tube 8 and reduce the quality of the sodium of the participation reaction in anode chamber 400 for the pressure of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 bottoms simultaneously; guarantee the fail safe of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 bottoms, and reduce the requirement for electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 perpendicularity and bottom circularity.
Filter course 92 in storage sodium pipe 9 has loose structure, and the aperture of this loose structure is less than 10 μ m, in case the tablet footpath is greater than the impurity particle of 10 μ m, enters this radial clearance 401.
In radial clearance 401, also be filled with gap-fill layer 13, gap-fill layer 13 is by metallic fiber, and especially soft 304 or 316L stainless steel fibre braiding forms.The porosity of gap-fill layer 13 is 30-50%.13 pairs of sodium of gap-fill layer have suction-operated, simultaneously, because the sodium of participating in reaction is only the inwall of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 and the sodium in the radial clearance 401 between bursting tube 8 outer walls, therefore the suction-operated of gap-fill layer 13 can also reduce the sodium amount that participates in reaction, control the temperature of sodium-sulphur battery, thus effectively control that electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 breaks or while generating micro-crack the temperature of sodium-sulphur battery below 600 ℃.
Simultaneously, between the bottom surface and shell 1 of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 outer walls, the bottom of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 outer walls is provided with bottom protective layer 10.The thickness d 3 of bottom protective layer 10 is 10~30mm.The Main Function of bottom protective layer 10 is to stop the bottom generation Liquid Sodium of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 and the electrochemical reaction of liquid sulfur, and bottom protective layer 10 can adopt insulation property outstanding, and to sulphur or the nonwettable inorganic refractory fiber material of sodium polysulfide.The preferred material of bottom protective layer 10 is alumina silicate fibre.
By the synergy of resilient coating 5 and bottom protective layer 10, can prevent that the Liquid Sodium of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 bottoms from participating in reaction, in the time of protection electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 bottom, reduced the requirement for electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 perpendicularity and bottom circularity.
During the work of sodium sulphur normal battery, the Liquid Sodium in storage sodium pipe 9, enter bursting tube 8 through filtering layer 92 and through hole 91, again from the top of bursting tube 8, overflow in described radial clearance 401, the sodium in described radial clearance 401 enters into the inwall of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4, and the betatopic reaction occurs, after becoming sodium ion, sodium ion sees through electrolyte ceramics pipe 4, from passing of electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 outer walls, enters cathode chamber 100, and react with the liquid sulfur in porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt 2, generate sodium polysulfide.When electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 breaks or generates micro-crack; the end face of bursting tube 8 is higher than the end face of ceramic electrolysis tube 4; the Liquid Sodium overflowed from bursting tube 8 tops also can't see through the liquid sulfur in porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt 2 electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 and cathode chamber 100 and react; the safeguard protection that has guaranteed sodium-sulphur battery is effective, controls the temperature of sodium-sulphur battery in 600 ℃.
An other improvement of sodium-sulphur battery is: the upper space of storage sodium pipe 9, in the space between the liquid level of Liquid Sodium and negative pole seal cover 11, be filled with protective gas, and this protective gas can't be dissolved in Liquid Sodium, also can't react with Liquid Sodium.This protective gas is preferably nitrogen or argon gas, the angle of large-scale production, is preferably nitrogen.Under the working temperature of sodium-sulphur battery, the air pressure P1 of storage sodium pipe 9 interior protective gas is 0.2-2 standard atmospheric pressure.The volume of the upper space of storage sodium pipe 9 is V1.
The upper space of cathode chamber 100, at the end face of porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt 2, to also being filled with between the end face of cathode chamber 100, porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt 2 can't adsorb, and the protective gas do not reacted with sulphur and sodium polysulfide.This protective gas is preferably nitrogen or argon gas, the angle of large-scale production, is preferably nitrogen.The upper space volume of cathode chamber 100 is V2.Under the working temperature of sodium-sulphur battery, the air pressure P2 in cathode chamber 100 is than the high 0.1-0.5 of the air pressure P1 standard atmospheric pressure in storage sodium pipe 9.
In the present embodiment, the nitrogen in cathode chamber 100 irreversibly decomposes generation by sodium azide, and the nitrogen in storage sodium pipe 9 is loaded in the sodium-sulphur battery assembling process.Sodium azide resolves into Liquid Sodium and nitrogen under 275 ℃.The sodium azide of 1mol can decomposite the nitrogen of 1.5mol and the sodium of 1mol.Therefore in the situation that storage sodium intraductal atmospheric pressure P1 under known 275 ℃ can pass through equation for ideal gases, i.e. P2 * V2=nRT, calculate the amount of sodium azide in cathode chamber 100.T=275 ℃ wherein, i.e. 548K, the amount that n is sodium azide.After the Liquid Sodium that sodium azide decomposites reacts with the sulphur of filling in porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt 2, the temperature of sodium-sulphur battery raises and can not surpass 5 ℃, can ignore.
After 4 breakages of electrolyte ceramics pipe, because the duplicate protection of resilient coating 5 and bottom protective layer 10 is arranged at electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 bottoms, the 4 bottom fail safes of electrolyte ceramics pipe have been guaranteed.Due to when electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 breaks or micro-crack is arranged, the air pressure P2 of the upper space of cathode chamber 100 is greater than the air pressure P1 of the upper space of storage sodium pipe 9, the Liquid Sodium of therefore participating in reaction is only the Liquid Sodium in described radial clearance 401, sulphur in the porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt 2 of cathode chamber 100 sees through electrolyte ceramics pipe 4, enter in radial clearance 401, react with Liquid Sodium.Because 2 pairs of sulphur of porous, electrically conductive fibrofelt have stronger adsorption capacity, enter sulphur in described radial clearance 401 still seldom, simultaneously, the product of Liquid Sodium and liquid sulfur reaction is adsorbed between radial clearance 401 and bursting tube 8 and storage sodium pipe 9, hinder the further reaction of Liquid Sodium and liquid sulfur, improve the security performance of battery.
Simultaneously, the present invention also improves anodal sealing device 6.Anodal sealing device 6 comprises L shaped becket 61, flute profile becket 62 and top metal ring 63.L shaped becket 61, flute profile becket 62 and top metal ring 63 are connected by the chain type connected mode, with the lateral surface by ceramic insulation ring 3, with the medial surface of shell 1, be connected, thereby by cathode chamber 100 sealings between electrolyte ceramics pipe 4 and shell 1.
