Abstract A new version of the Al/Cl2 battery previously described was investigated. Instead of a graphite cylinder, a porous titanium plate was used as a chlorine electrode (cathode). The electrolyte used was a moderately acidic aqueous NaCl solution of pH 2 containing small amounts of In3+ and Hg2+ as additives. The cell had an open-circuit voltage of 2.6 V and delivered a maximum power of 19.8 W at 1.1 V with a Faradiac efficiency of 69%. The power density was 280 mW cm−2. A module consiting of 4 submodules connected in series, where each submodule contained 4 double-unit cells connected in parallel, had an open-circuit voltage of 10.6 V, a maximum power of 200 W and an energy density of 110 Whl−1.
