LiCl-AlCl sub 3 -SOCl sub 2 system: Structures, species, and equilibria

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7252345
One of the major, as yet unresolved, issues in maximizing Li/SOCl{sub 2} cell performance is the mechanism of SOCl{sub 2} electroreduction. Studies suggest the importance of the composition as well as structural aspect of bulk electrolyte on the kinetics of the charge-transfer process. Madou et al. have provided some evidence for the participation of more than one SOCl{sub 2}-bearing species. Venkatasetty, in discussing the role of transition metal phthalocyanines in the charge-transfer process, viewed the rate enhancement as due to the formation of thionyl chloride adducts with phthalocyanines.
