Abstract:
The secondary electrical energy storage battery of this invention comprises a carbon cathode, an aluminum metal anode, and a fused salt electrolyte containing an aluminum halide in admixture with one or more of the halides of the alkali metals. The electrical energy storage device described has the advantage of being operable in a lower temperature range than presently known fused salt batteries.
Abstract:
An electrical energy storage device exhibiting high energy storage capacity comprises a novel silicon carbide cathode and an aluminum-lithium alloy anode, the pair of electrodes being immersed in or in contact with a molten salt electrolyte composed of a lithium halide and one or more of the halides of the alkali metals or the alkaline earth metals or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
Method for electrochemical alloying of aluminum and lithium by immersing a pair of electrodes, one being of aluminum, into a molten bath of lithium salt or salts, and imposing a potential to electrolyze the molten salt and drive lithium into aluminum.
