The invention discloses a glass sealing material for a
thermal battery and a preparation method thereof. The invention is characterized in that the glass sealing material comprises the following components in percentage by mole : 60-80% of SiO2, 3-15% of BaO, 5-15% of Na2O, 4-15% of K2O, 0-6% of Al2O3, 0-6% of B2O3, 0-5% of Li2O, and 0-5% of La2O3. The glass sealing material disclosed by the invention basically comprises SiO2, Al2O3 and B2O3, is added with proper matching of
alkali metal oxide (mixed alkali effect) so as to control a
softening point and
viscosity of glass, improve the flowability of the glass and improve the performance of glass
powder by adding modified oxides such as La2O3 with certain content and auxiliary ingredients, so that the
wetting property of the glass to a
titanium battery cover is improved. In addition, the invention prepares the glass sealing material by reasonable manufacturing technologies such as
smelting, clearing, pulverizing, granulating and the like, so that the
leakage rate of a sealing cover of the
thermal battery produced by the sealing material disclosed by the invention is less than 1.0 multiplied by 10-10Pa.m<3> / s, and the
insulation resistance is improved by more than one times compared with that of the sealing cover produced by the prior art.
