“…37,42 By the end of the 1960s, Argonne had almost exclusively redirected their research toward high specific energy density lithium−chalcogenide cells for use in electric vehicles. [43][44][45][46]48,49,[51][52][53]65 Not long after this, Argonne shifted direction again, this time toward Li−FeS cells, after the accidental discovery of FeS formation during the testing of Li−S cells in iron containers, which led to greatly enhanced cell cyclability. 66 As a result, the low specific energy density of bimetallic galvanic cells made them comparatively unattractive for portable applications and much of the aforementioned research fell into obscurity for the next few decades.…”

“…There are two common approaches to reducing the Na solubility in molten salt. One approach is to optimize the composition of molten salt, for instance, use of multi‐cation molten salts can suppress the solubility of metals . Another way to reduce the Na solubility is reducing the operating temperature of sodium‐based LMBs.…”

The increasing demands for integration of renewable energy into the grid and urgently needed devices for peak shaving and power rating of the grid both call for low‐cost and large‐scale energy storage technologies. The use of secondary batteries is considered one of the most effective approaches to solving the intermittency of renewables and smoothing the power fluctuations of the grid. In these batteries, the states of the electrode highly affect the performance and manufacturing process of the battery, and therefore leverage the price of the battery. A battery with liquid metal electrodes is easy to scale up and has a low cost and long cycle life. In this progress report, the state‐of‐the‐art overview of liquid metal electrodes (LMEs) in batteries is reviewed, including the LMEs in liquid metal batteries (LMBs) and the liquid sodium electrode in sodium‐sulfur (Na–S) and ZEBRA (Na–NiCl2) batteries. Besides the LMEs, the development of electrolytes for LMEs and the challenge of using LMEs in the batteries, and the future prospects of using LMEs are also discussed.

“…A number of insulating ceramics were tested by Cairns et al* 111 in lithium at 375°C. Although this temperature is lower than the temperatures of interest for CTR use, the relative corrosion rates of the ceramics may provide some useful guidelines.…”

Herein, we review a number of important properties of lithium that are pertinent to its use as a blanket and/or coolant in a D-T fusion-power plant. Among the topics we cover are natural abundance; thermodynamic and transport properties; characterization, analysis, and control of species»in lithium; and corrosion of materials (including electronic insulators) by molten lithium. Throughout this review we have attempted to indicate the Importance of the individual properties as they would affect the overall design considerations of an operating reactor and to point out areas where information is lacking and where additional work is needed.
