THE CHLORINE ELECTRODE Experimental Cell The cell was a small (100-cc capacity) four-neck flask. The size was chosen in order to use small amounts of highly purified eutectic. The cell was operated in a hot air oven, and temperature control was f1 "C at 120 O C. The oven was modified to allow for electrical connections to the various electrodes and to provide for A r and C12 gas inlets and outlets (see Fig. 8 for a photograph of the cell arrangement). Stability of Carbon Electrodes Preliminary investigations using graphite (Speer Carbon Products grade 37-G electrographite) revealed that the electrolyte wets the porous graphite quite rs-ily, and in a short period of time considerable swelling of the electrode was noticed ( see Fig. 9). Upon removing the electrode from the melt, itwas apparent that the graphite had lost its structural integrity. This behavior is in contrast to tnat observed by Swinkels (Ref. 25) where the same graphite electrode was not wet by molten LiCl at 650 "C. Disintegration of the graphite seems tobe a consequence of interplanar reactions with the formation of intercalation compounds. The attack is even more pronounced in the presence of chlorine. There- fore, the compatibilitv of carbon electrodes from differentsources and of different degrees of graphitization and porositv with respect to aluminum chloride eutectics was studied, both in the presence and the absence of chlorine. For these experiments, an A1C13-N;ICL-KC1 eutectic (66, 20, and 14 mol z, respectively)at 120"Cwasused. When investigatingthe effect of chlorine, the carbon electrode was partially immersed in the electrolyte and chlorine was passed through the gas phaseof the all- glass cell. The results of these experiments are presented in Table 11. 19PDF Image | ALUMINUM CHLORINE BATTERY
