Abstract
To develop an aluminum-chlorine cell, an electrochemical cell consisting of an aluminum anode and a graphite cathode was developed and evaluated in EMIC-AlCl3 ionic liquid.
The open circuit voltage of the aluminum-chlorine cell was about 1.8-1.9V after introduction of chlorine gas to 66.7mol% EMIC-AlCl3 at 303 K. The relationship between current density and cell voltage in the cell showed an almost linear relation. The major factor in the voltage drop of the output voltage was considered to be due to resistance of electrolytic melt. The output characteristics of the cell depend on the configuration of the graphite cathode, the current density with a step type cathode at 0.5 V was about 20% better than that of a cylindrical type graphite cathode.
