Abstract Al/Cl2 cells were built using a coaxial cylindrical cell arrangement with cylindrical porous graphite chlorine electrodes and 99.5% Al anodes (cylindrical rods). The electrolyte used was a slightly acidic aqueous NaCl solution containing small amounts of In3+ and Hg2+ as additives. The cells have an open-circuit voltage of 2.6 V and a maximum power density of 55mW cm−2 at a cell voltage of 1.6V with a Faradaic efficiency of 65–70%. A battery consisting of seven cells connected in parallel delivered a maximum power of about 15W.
