Each cell is enclosed in a robust steel case with material content is involved in the cell reaction. Apart
electrodes separated by a b-ceramic partition which from the main reversible cell reaction there are no side
conducts sodium ions but acts as a barrier to electrons, reactions so that the coulometric efficiency of the cell is
(a). The melt of sodium/aluminium chloride conducts 100%. The completely maintenance-free cells are her-
sodium ions between the inner ceramic wall and into the metically sealed using a thermal compression bond
porous solid Ni/NiCl 2 electrode. As a result, the total (TCB) ceramic/metal seal.
