Dense, smooth Al can be electrodeposited at room temp. (RT) from ambient temp. molten AlCl{sub 3}-1-butylpyridinium chloride (BPC) melt. Polyaniline (PAn), used as electrode, has a high doping level per polymer unit and a large discharge capcity. Highly electroactive PAn can be synthesized from AlCl{sub 3}-BPC/PAn cells operated at RT. The electrochemical behavior of the PAn electrode was investigated in various composition electrolytes; neutron diffraction was also used to study the structure factor, total correlation factor, and average pair distribution function.
