Temperature-humidity tests and discharge in an experimental cell were used to evaluate new cathode materials for magnesium seawater activated cells. Of the materials tested AgC1, Hg~Cle, and CuI,S mixes were found promising. Mg/AgC1,Hg2C12 cells performed almost as well as Mg/AgCI cells due to an apparent intracathode reaction. The Mg/CuI,S system exhibited a lower operating voltage and will require further work for full evaluation.The need to reduce silver content and loss associated with conventional Mg/AgC1 seawater activated batteries has prompted searches for substitute cathodes. This search was directed towards the "silver group" of the classical qualitative analysis procedure (1) and copper(I) halide-sulfur mixes previously investigated by Reutschi et al. (2) for weather balloon applica-* Electrochemical Society Active Member.
