The over-discharging phenomena in sodium-nickel chloride batteries were investigated in relation to decomposition of molten salt electrolyte and consequent metal co-deposition. From XRD analysis, the material deposited on graphite cathode current collector was revealed to be by-product of molten salt electrolyte decomposition. In particular, the result showed that the Ni-Al alloys ($Al_3Ni_2$, $Ni_3Al$ and $Al_3Ni$) were electrochemically deposited on graphite current collectors in line with over-discharging behaviors. It is assumed that the $NiCl_2$ solubility in molten salt electrolytes leads to the co-deposition of Ni-Al alloys by increasing metal deposition potential above 1.6 V (vs. $Na/Na^+$). The cell tests have revealed that the composition of molten salt electrolytes modified by various additives makes a decisive influence on the over-discharging behaviors of the cells. It was revealed that NaOCN addition to molten salt electrolytes was advantageous to suppress over-discharge reactions by modifying the characteristics of molten salt electrolytes. NaOCN addition into molten salt electrolytes seems to suppress Ni solubility by maintaining basic melts. The cell using modified molten salt electrolyte with NaOCN (Cell D) showed relatively less cell degradation compared with other cells for long cycles.

The secondary battery using sodium is investigating as one of power storage system and power in electric vehicles. The secondary battery using sodium as a sodium battery and sodium ion battery had merits such as a abundant resources, high energy density and safety. Sodium battery (sodium molten salt battery) is operated at lower temperature ($100^{\circ}C$) compared to NAS and ZEBRA battery ($300{\sim}350^{\circ}C$). Sodium ion battery is investigating as one of the post lithium ion battery. In this paper, it is explained for the principle and recent research trends in sodium molten salt and sodium ion battery.

x mol% (x = 0 ~ 20) Na2CO3 excess Bi2.5Na3.5Nb5O18 (BNN) particles were synthesized using molten salt as a flux. The secondary phases were observed at stoichiometric ratio of BNN precursors and their intensity decreased with increasing Na contents. The results of SEM images showed that all particles existed in a platelet shape and the particle increased in size with higher increasing Na contents. Plate-like NaNbO3 particles were developed using BNN precursor obtained by a topochemical microcrystal conversion. XRD analysis of NaNbO3 particles showed that a single perovskite phase and the intensity of (h00) peaks increased with increasing Na contents in BNN precursor. SEM images showed that the size of plate-like NaNbO3 was significantly changed by controlling Na contents in BNN precursors.

The layered $Na_{0.6}Li_{0.6}[Mn_{0.72}Ni_{0.18}Co_{0.10}]O_2$ composite with well crystalized and high specific capacity is prepared by molten-salt method and using the substitution of Na for Li-ion battery. The effects of annealing temperature, time, Na contents, and electrochemical performance are investigated. In XRD analysis, the substitution of Na-ion resulted in the P2-$Na_{2/3}MO_2$ structure ($Na_{0.70}MO_{2.05}$), which co-exists in the $Na_{0.6}Li_{0.6}[Mn_{0.72}Ni_{0.18}Co_{0.10}]O_2$ composites. The discharge capacities of cathode materials exhibited $284mAhg^{-1}$ with higher initial coulombic efficiency.

마그네슘 이차전지는 기존에 사용되고 있는 리튬이온전지를 대체할 수 있는 가능성으로 인해 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 마그네슘 이차전지용 양극활물질인 Mo₆S₈을 MSS (Molten Salt Synthesis)법으로 합성하였고, Mo₆S₈의 전기화학적 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 탄소소재인 PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride)를 첨가하여 탄화시켰다. 물질의 결정 구조와 크기, 표면 상태는 XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)으로 분석하였다. 전기화학적 특성은 배터리충방전기를 이용하여 충·방전 프로파일과 출력 특성 등을 측정하였다. PVC를 2.81 wt% 첨가한 물질의 경우, 0.125 C-rate에서 85.8 mAh/g, 0.5 C-rate에서 69.2 mAh/g, 1 C-rate에서 60.5 mAh/g의 용량을 나타내어 우수한 출력특성을 보여주었다.
