The Study of Magnesium/Silver Chloride Batteries Employing Various Electrolytes and Inhibitors

Abstract

Measurements have been made of both temperature and voltage, during and after discharge, on magnesium/silver chloride batteries. These measurements were made on single-and multiple-cell stacks at 45C. A study of cell behavior was carried out to determine the possibility of decreasing the corrosion of the magnesium and extending the length of run-out of the present system. An explanation is given for the high corrosion rate of magnesium in 20% LiCl solutions with 0.5% Na2Cr2O7. Possible means of controlling this rate are also presented.
