Electrochemical Studies of Li ( SO 2 ) 3AlCl4 Electrolytes Containing Added Halogens

Cyclic voltammograms at smooth carbon electrodes and galvanostatic discharge/charge cycles of porous carbon electrodes were obtained in both pure and in containing added halogens. Qualitative differences in cyclic voltammograms and discharge/charge curves with electrolyte containing various halogens can be related to differences in halogen reduction potentials.
