Abstract: THE CAPACITY OF AN ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE CONTAINING A HIGH SURFACE AREA CARBON CATHODE, A METALLIC ANODE, AND A FUSED SALT ELECTROLYTE IN CONTACT WITH THE ELECTRODES, CAN BE GREATLY ENHANCED BY THE ADDITION OF A TELLURIUM COMPOUND DIRECTLY TO THE ELECTROLYTE OR TO THE CARBON CATHODE. ON PASSAGE OF AN ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH THE SYSTEM, THE TELLURIUM BECOMES PERMANENTLY BONDED TO THE CARBON OF THE CATHODE THEREBY FORMING AN "ACTIVE" TELLURIUM SPECIES THAT MANIFESTS ITSELF AS A CHARACTERISTIC PLATEAU IN THE DISCHARGE PROFILE OF THE CELL.
