ABSTRACT:
An aluminum alloy that may be used as an anode in a battery displays high voltage and high coulombic efficiency when used with a caustic electrode by the presence of about 0.03 to 0.2 percent tin. Additionally, about 0.03 to 0.07 percent gallium and/or 0.002 to 0.006 percent silicon may be added. It is preferred that the purity of the aluminum be at least as pure as 99.995%. A heat treatment enhances voltage and efficiency.
