このようにナトリウム−イオウ電池は多くの特長を有し
ているため将来の電力貯蔵システムとして有望視されて
いる。As described above, sodium-sulfur batteries have many features and are therefore considered promising as future power storage systems.
しかしながら1本電池には以下のような問題点がある。However, single batteries have the following problems.
即ち
(1)溶融ナトリウム、イオウ等の活性の強い物質をか
つ高温で用いるため、容器の腐食等により活物質の純度
が低下し、長時間、使用時に性能が低下する。That is, (1) since highly active substances such as molten sodium and sulfur are used at high temperatures, the purity of the active material decreases due to corrosion of the container, etc., resulting in a decrease in performance during long-term use.
(2)β−アルミナ等の固体電解質が破損した場合等、
急激なナトリウムとイオウの反応がおこる危険性がある
が補修手段がない。(2) If the solid electrolyte such as β-alumina is damaged, etc.
There is a risk of a rapid reaction between sodium and sulfur, but there is no repair method.
(3)いずれの活物質も空気に接すると酸化されて活性
を失うため、アルゴン等の不活性ガスと共に小型の電池
中に封じ込めるシールは容易なことではない。(3) Since any active material is oxidized and loses its activity when exposed to air, it is not easy to seal it together with an inert gas such as argon in a small battery.
これらの間@を解決するため、活物質中の不純物除去が
可能で、かつ必要に応じて活物質の取シ出し封じ込めが
容易で、電池内部の補修が可能な長寿命で安全性の高い
電池システムの開発が望まれる。In order to solve these issues, we have developed a long-life, highly safe battery that allows impurities to be removed from the active material, is easy to take out and contain the active material if necessary, and can be repaired inside the battery. Development of a system is desired.
本発明の目的は、従来電池の欠点である。活物質の純良
低下による電池の短寿命化、活物質のぬき田し、封じ込

−イオウ電池システムを提供することにある。The object of the invention is the drawbacks of conventional batteries. In order to solve problems such as shortened battery life due to deterioration of the purity of the active material, removal of the active material, and impossibility of repair due to the incorrosiveness of the containment, a loop type structure is used to make the active material inert. The object of the present invention is to provide a 7'C sodium-sulfur battery system using gas for transport and installing a purification thread in the middle.
従来の電池と異なる点は不活性ガスの圧力により必要に

が可能となる。The difference from conventional batteries is that the battery has a loop structure that allows the active materials in the battery to be transferred into tanks as needed using the pressure of inert gas. As a result, in an emergency such as damage to a solid electrolyte such as β-alumina, the active material can be removed in an emergency, which has not been possible in conventional batteries.
更に本システムではループ内にトラップ(不純物浄化系

ある。従って後述するように電池の長寿命化が図れる利
点がある。更にループ式として不活性ガス封じこめとし
た九め従来電池のネックであったシール法が容易となっ
た点も特徴である。Furthermore, this system is notable in that it is possible to purify the active material by providing a trap (impurity purification system) within the loop. Therefore, as will be described later, there is an advantage that the battery life can be extended. Another feature is that the loop-type battery simplifies the sealing method, which was a problem with conventional batteries that sealed inert gas.

A single cell 35' using β-alumina as a diaphragm 36 separating the two is heated to 300 to 350C and kept at this temperature. The cell was placed in a stainless steel container lined with molybdenum steel to prevent leakage of negative and anode active materials. This battery initially provided approximately aoowh of power. After repeated charging and discharging times, the power decreased to about 290 Wh, so the molten metal sodium 34 and the sulfur and yellow mixture were sent from the argon gas pump 31 with 33 tons of pulp to the cell 35. '37 are collected into tank 26 for the sodium receiver and tank 30 for the sulfur receiver, and then 32 tons of pulp are passed through the argon gas 31 into the tank 26 for the disodium receiver and the tank 3 for the sulfur receiver.
