Lithium‐aluminum anodes were investigated as a possible approach to minimizing the lithium dendrite problem in organic electrolyte secondary cells. Electroformation and pyrometallurgical techniques were used in the preparation of the electrodes. The equilibrium emf composition relationship and the cycling behavior were evaluated. This paper reports that under certain conditions Li‐Al compositions approaching lithium potentials may be used, reducing the voltage penalty required to minimize the dendrite problem.
