Abstract
The results of the investigation on the use of polyaniline (PANI) as a cathode material in a battery configuration, having magnesium as anod e and a neutral aqueous solution of one of the magnesium salts such as perchlorate, chloride and bromide as an electrolyte, are presented. T his system shows a open circuit voltage in the range 1.6-1.8 V. The st udy indicates that the capacity of the system largely depends upon the anion present in the electrolyte.
