Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an electrode for a sodium molten-salt battery in which degradation of the electrode can be suppressed even when charging and discharging are repeated, and which has excellent cycle characteristics. The electrode for a sodium molten-salt battery includes a current collector and an electrode mixture adhering to a surface of the current collector, in which the electrode mixture includes an electrode active material and a binder containing a polymer, and the polymer does not contain a fluorine atom. The polymer can include, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of polyamide resins and polyimide resins or at least one selected from the group consisting of acrylic resins, rubber-like polymers, and cellulose derivatives.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sodium molten-salt battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolyte which has sodium ion conductivity at least at the time of being molten, wherein the electrolyte contains at least a salt of an anion including a bis(sulfonyl)imide anion and a sodium ion; the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode mixture adhering to a surface of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode mixture including a negative electrode active material and a binder containing a polymer; and the polymer does not contain a fluorine atom. 2. A charging and discharging method for a sodium molten-salt battery, wherein the sodium molten-salt battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolyte which has sodium ion conductivity at least at the time of being molten; the electrolyte contains at least a salt of an anion including a bis(sulfonyl)imide anion and a sodium ion; the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode mixture adhering to a surface of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode mixture including a negative electrode active material and a binder containing a polymer; and the polymer does not contain a fluorine atom, the charging and discharging method comprising a step of charging and discharging the sodium molten-salt battery in the state of being heated in a temperature range of 40° C. to 190° C.
