ABSTRACT
Discharge characteristics of a heat activated battery with CrCl3 –MoO3 mixtures as a cathode material is investigated. Composition and morphology of reduction products of the cathode materials have been determined. A mechanism of the reduction to metallic chromium and molibdenum has been proposed, which includes an intermediate step of melt formation of a Li3CrCl6 complex compound and lithium molybdates with LiCl.
