Abstract
The performance of Al/FeS2 molten salt secondary cells has been studied. When the cell was charging, dendritic deposits were cathodically produced on the Al electrode, and this was found to lower cell performance.
Pulse electrolysis was studied in order to obtain an adherent Al deposit, and computer simulation was carried out to obtain information on the Al deposition.
Both experimental and calculated results showed that the morphology of the Al deposit depends mainly on diffusion layer conditions. The simulated deposition agreed with actual morphology for the dendritic deposit.
