Abstract

 After nearly 100 years of aluminum production with the Hall-Héroult cell, major innovations are being considered, mainly in the materials of construction and the electrodes. This article presents a brief review of some of the innovations made in anode materials. Such improvements lead to better cell efficiencies and environmental benefits; and open the door for improved cell designs hithertofore not possible with available cell materials.
