Abstract

This paper describes the development and operation of a medium-power (24 W) aluminium-air battery with saline electrolyte or sea water. The battery consisted of two packs of 10 cells, each connected in series with a projected aluminium anode capacity of 2590 Ah. The anodes were made of a Ga−Sn−Mg alloy capable of giving 89% material efficiency, with an open circuit voltage of 13.4V. The specific energy based on aluminium was calculated at 577 Wh kg−1.
