Abstract
Abstract A sealed primary sodium-halogen cell is disclosed which comprises a casing, an anode positioned in the casing, the anode selected from the class consisting of sodium, sodium as an amalgam, and sodium in a nonaqueous electrolyte, a solid sodium ion-conductive electrolyte positioned in the casing adjacent the anode, and a cathode positioned adjacent the opposite side of the electrolyte, the cathode comprising iodine monochloride, or iodine monochloride in a nonaqueous solvent, such as, acetonitrile, butyrolactone or propylene carbonate.
