The battery systems Al/NaCl-AlCl sub 3 -Al sub 2 X sub 2 /Ni-felt (X=S, Se, Te) and the corresponding system without chalcogen (X) were studied experimentally at 175 deg C. Charge-discharge experiments, performed on cells with NaCl saturated melts, showed that systems containing dissolved chalcogen...
