Abstract A positive electrode containing 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-quinone (DDQ) as the cathode active material was discharged in a magnesium seawater cell at room temperature. Analysis of the dissolved species of DDQ in water and potential sweep voltammetry studies were also carried out. The open circuit voltage of the DDQ-Mg cell was as high as 2.2 V and the single cell could be discharged at current densities greater than 50 mA cm−2. However, the current efficiencies for the DDQ cathodes in a three-cell immersion-type battery were not high enough for high drain applications, probably due to a high leak current through the common electrolyte.
