High Energy Cathodes for Fused Salt Batteries.

Abstract

Several compounds have been tested as potential cathodes in batteries using low-melting molten chloroaluminate (AlCl3-NaCl mixtures) solvents and aluminum metal anodes. Fluorinated graphite with different fluorine content, binary and ternary intercalation compounds, such as C-WCl6 and C-AlCl3-Cl2, several quinones, and positive iodine and sulfur cations have been studied. The latter, involving positive oxidation state of sulfur, is the most promising cathode system of those studied (S(sub n) (m+)/Al). (Modified author abstract)
