Rapidly-Refuelable 167-CM exp 2 Aluminum-Air Power Cell

摘要

The rapidly-refuelable, 167-cm exp 2 aluminum-air power cell has been successfully tested both as a single cell and as a two-cell stack. This cell, which features a moving cathode and internal manifolding of electrolyte, is designed for ratid replacement of the anode and easy construction. A maximum power density of 4.2 kW/m exp 2 was measured, which is 97% of that obtained earlier in the 25-cm exp 2 cell. Cathode polarization was negligibly affected by air flow rate and air-electrolyte differential pressure across the air cathode. (ERA citation 07:022264)
