Abstract
The discharge characteristics and the reduction products of the CrCl3 cathodic material in a thermal battery are studied. The maximum discharge capacity of the cathodic material is found to be 0.45 A h g–1 (550°C). A mechanism for the reduction of CrCl3 to metallic chromium via an intermediate formation of the melt of Li3CrCl6x(Br6(1–x)) complexes is proposed.
