Abstract
En 中文
This narrative summarizes, in retrospect, the enormous and quietly-conducted contribution of Dr Johan Coetzer, a South African scientist and entrepreneur, to the discovery, development and implementation of the high temperature sodium-metal chloride ZEBRA battery (Na/beta-Al2O3, NaAlCl4/MCl2 (M = Ni, Fe)). This research activity was initiated in the mid 1970's at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa and subsequently developed primarily in partnership with the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE, Harwell, UK), Beta R&D (Derby, UK) and Daimler Benz (Germany), before being transferred to industry worldwide for electric vehicle and energy storage applications, albeit at a relatively low production rate. Coetzer's wide-ranging, innovative and, at times, unconventional scientific approach also laid the foundation for the discovery and implementation of manganese-based spinel and layered metal oxide cathode materials for the Li-ion battery industry.
