▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - A battery comprises intercalation anode; cathode comprising a metal halide incorporated into an electrically conductive material; an oxidizing gas; and an electrolyte in contact with the intercalation anode, the cathode, and the oxidizing gas. USE - A battery for electric vehicles and grid energy storage systems. ADVANTAGE - The battery has a cycle life reaching 1000 cycles at a current density that enables the battery to charge within 10-15 minutes. In addition to fast-charging, the battery is high powered and electrically stable. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for formation of a battery which involves forming battery stack comprising an intercalation anode, a metal halide cathode in an electrically conductive material, a separator positioned between the intercalation anode and the electrically conductive material of the metal halide cathode, and an electrolyte and introducing oxidizing gas into the battery stack, where the electrolyte is in contact with the intercalation anode, the metal halide cathode, and the oxidizing gas.
