Abstract

Single-crystalline NiCl₂ nanorods with approximately 80-200 nm in diameter have been successfully prepared via recrystallization. Thermal batteries consisting of six single cells were fabricated for discharge measurements. The results showed that thermal batteries employing NiCl₂ nanorods as cathode could maintain 114 s and 95 s until the potential fell to 10.5 V at constant current densities of 0.303 A cm-1 and 0.424 A cm-1, respectively. The average open circuit voltage of a singel cell after activation can reach as high as 2.445 V, close to its theoretical electrochemical window of 2.640 V in molten electrolytes.
