Abstract
In this paper recent developments in the processing and characterization of polycrystalline β″-alumina ceramic electrolytes will be discussed, β″-alumina ceramics have potential uses in diverse devices such as the electrolyte or sodium-ion separator in (1) the sodium-sulfur energy storage battery 1 designed for either electric utility load leveling or automotive propulsion, (2) a high temperature sodium heat engine or thermoelectric device.2 (3) a high electrowinning of sodium metal from molten sodium salts, (4) the purification of sodium metal and (5) various electrochemical devices for measuring sodium and perhaps even oxygen activities.
