ABSTRACT:
The conduction of sulfur toward, and reaction products away from, the electrolyte of a sodium sulfur storage cell is accelerated by providing a bimodal capillary in the cathode. The capillary preferably consists of graphite fibers, otherwise present to conduct electricity through the cathode, arranged in a bimodal distribution. Closely spaced fibers preferentially draw the reaction product of the electrical discharge away from the electrolyte by capillary action. Open spaces between groups of closely spaced fibers permit sulfur to flow toward the electrolyte. The capillary mixing technique permits rapid discharge of the battery cell even under weightless conditions.
