Abstract: The electrochemical catalysis behavior of thionyl chloride reduction with metal- tetram-ethoxyphenyl porphyrins is studied.The experimental results demonstrate that metal porphyrins possess a higher activity for thionyl chloride reduction and the order of the activity of porphyrins with different central ions is Fe≈Co>Ni.In the other hand, these complexes seem to retard the deposition of LiCl on the electrode surface and to inhance the discharge capacity of Li/SOCl2 batteries.

Key words: Metal-porphyrins complex, Thionyl chloride reduction
