Ag/AgCl reference electrode in thionyl chloride electrolytes

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5383745

Thionyl chloride is the active cathode and electrolyte solvent in Li/SOCl/sub 2/ primary battery systems. To evaluate charge-transfer reactions in this solvent system, a reference electrode is required. This report describes the fabrication and characterization of Ag/AgCl microreference electrodes that can be used in SOCl/sub 2/ battery electrolytes.
