Reversible exothermic reactions

Hi I'm looking for exothermic reactions that are either reversible by electrolysis or the application of current.

Alternatively the reaction can be self reversing if it can be triggered by application of minimal current.

Reclarify

2 Na + Cl2 -> 2 NaCl + energy

Melt NaCl, perform electrolysis and it will release Chlorine gas.
