Electroreduction of Chromium(III) Chloride and Molybdenum(VI) Oxide Mixtures in a Thermally Activated Battery

Аннотация

The discharge characteristics of a thermally activated battery element with cathode materials based on CrCl₃–MoO₃ mixtures are studied. The composition and the morphology of the products of reduction of the cathode materials are determined. A mechanism is proposed for their reduction to metallic chromium and molybdenum through an intermediate stage of formation of the melts of the complex Li₃CrCl₆ compound and lithium molybdates with lithium chloride.
