Strong, Low-Resistance Bonds For AMTEC Electrodes
Abstract
Heat of operating cell helps form contacts. Strong, low-electrical-resistance contacts between elements of current-collection grid in alkali-metal thermoelectric converter (AMTEC) cell obtained by simple in-place thermocompression bonding. Bonds formed between porous electrode of molybdenum film, nickel or cobalt strips overlying film, and molybdenum tie wires running at right angles to strips. Bonding method also works on films of tungsten or tungsten/platinum.
