Iodine improves liquid lithium thionyl chloride battery discharge performance and rechargeability

https://techxplore.com/news/2023-10-iodine-lithium-thionyl-chloride-battery.html

"superior energy density and stability, long life and low levels of energy loss during storage... but now, (1) by improving kinetics of energy charge and discharge rates with I2, improved energy release rate and (2) made Li-SOCl2 batteries rechargeable when they previously could not be recharged... wide temperature operating range... dual-function molecular catalyst saving Li-SOCl2 system from its primary deficiencies by generating new redox couples as intermediates for both discharge and charge processes"
