The valence electron structures and thermal and electric properties of Na||Sb-Pb-Sn liquid metal battery are systematically studies with solid and molecular empirical electron theory (EET). The theoretical studies show that the thermal and electric properties are strongly related to the valence electron structure of electrode. The cathodic alloys Na 1– xIA x(IA = K, Rb, Cs) are designed by doping IA group alkali metals (K, Rb, Cs) into Na electrode since the melting points of IA group metals (K, Rb, Cs) are all lower than that of sodium. The theoretical bond lengths and cohesive energy of cathodic alloys Na 1– xIA xmatch the experimental ones well. The theoretical studies show the decreasing tendency of melting point, cohesive energy and electric potential with increasing doping content xin Na 1– xIA xalloys, which is due to the modulation of valence electron structure of IA group dopants. According to the analyses of valence structures, the number of lattice electrons decreases with the increasing of the doping content xfor the cathodic alloy and causes the melting point, electric potential and cohesive energy to decline. It reveals that the IA group dopant modulates the valence electron structure of cathodic alloy, and induces the electron transformation from lattice electron to covalent electron in s orbital. The anode products such as NaSb 3, NaSn, Na 15Sn 4and NaPb are formed by transporting Na ions into the anode alloy Sb-Sn-Pb. The calculated bond-lengths and melting points fit the observed ones well for these anode products. Owing to their complex structures with various atomic occupations in unit cell, the thermal property or electric property is not only relative to lattice electron, but also depends on the covalent electron. The sublattice plays an important role in the forming of the four anode products. The lattice electrons are supplied by Na at 4 fsites in Na 3Sb, Na at 16 eand Sn at 32 gsites in NaSn, Sn at 16 cand Na at 48 esites in Na 15Sn 4, and Na at 16 fand Pb at 32 gsites in NaPb, respectively. The open-gate voltage is closely related to the lattice electrons and inversely proportional to the average number of lattice electrons per atom. The open-gate voltage of NaSb 3is the largest among the anode products, however, its averaged number of lattice electron per atom is the least. Since the lattice electron number of NaSn is the largest among the anode products, the open-gate voltage of NaSn is the least. It implies that the lattice electron plays a very important role in Na||Sb-Pb-Sn liquid metal battery, which can modulate the valence electron structures and thermal and electric properties. -
