Oxidation of SOCl/sub 2/ electrolyte on Mo, Ta, W, and Pt electrodes

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6436716

The oxidation of 1.5 M LiAlCl/sub 4//SOCl/sub 2/ electrolyte on Mo, Ta, W, and Pt electrodes is evaluated using complex impedance and steady-state polarizations. All four metals behave as inert, film-free electrodes in the SOCl/sub 2/ electrolyte with the same differential double-layer capacitance of 11 to 12 ..mu..F/cm/sup 2/ at E greater than or equal to 4.7 V vs. Li/LiCl.
