with magnesium powder prior to evaporation yielded pure A1C13. A1C13-KCl-NaCl melts using this material stayed clear (nearly colorless) and showed practically no background current, Investigations of vitreous carbon electrodes have shown that carbon is intrin- sically active for chlorine reduction in A1C13-alkali chloride melts. A study of the compatibility of carbon electrodes with chlorine in A1C13 eutectics has uncovered carbon samples which appear suitable for the construction of porous chlorine cath- odese More recently, our attention was directed towards the processes occurring at the A1 electrode in AlC13-KCl-NaCl melts, Passivation phenomena have been observed upon cathodic and anodic polarization. It was established that they were not due to an electrochemical (potential-dependent) process, but: rather were caused by formation of a solid salt layer at the electrode surface resulting from concentra- tion changes upon anodic or cathodic current flow. The value of the steady-state current was determined by diffusion processes in the melt and the concentration change necessary to pass the liquidus curve of the phase diagram. The electrode behavior upon cathodic polarization was further complicated by dendrite growth, which caused the electrode to expand into the melt. In the present reporting period, we continued to investigate the kinetic behavior of the A1 electrode, the effect of mass transport, and the conductivity of the melt.PDF Image | NASA ALUMINUM CHLORINE BATTERY
