Abstract

A key challenge of chloride ion batteries is to develop cathode materials that are stable in the electrolytes. Metal oxychlorides are presented as such a cathode material. The electrochemical performance and the reaction mechanisms of the BiOCl and FeOCl cathode were investigated. Both cathodes showed reversible reactions, including a major conversion reaction and a minor intercalation process, by chloride ion transfer during cycling.
