Fluorinated carbon active material

A method for making an electrode for an electrochemical storage device comprising the acts of:

• providing a powder or granulated sample of CFx;
• placing said CFx in a deposition chamber;
• enclosing a conductive material in said deposition chamber;
• filling said deposition chamber with an inert gas;
• applying an electrical voltage to said inert gas to form a plasma;
• and
• allowing said conductive material to vaporize and deposit on said CFx.

A method for preparing CFx coated with carbon comprising the acts of:

• providing a powder or granulated sample of CFx;
• placing said CFx in a deposition chamber;
• filling said deposition chamber with a carbonaceous gas;
• increasing the temperature of said carbonaceous gas;
• and
• allowing carbon to deposit on said CFx.

An electrical storage cell comprising:

• a negative electrode;
• a positive electrode comprising Carbon Fluoride (CFx) having deposited thereon a conductive material;
• and
• an electrolyte.

A primary battery comprising:

• a negative electrode;
• a positive electrode operatively associated with the negative electrode;
• electrolyte activating said negative electrode and said positive electrode;
• said positive electrode comprising Carbon Fluoride (CFx) having deposited thereon a conductive material.

An implantable medical device comprising at least one electrical cell comprising:

• at least one positive electrode comprising Carbon Fluoride (CFx) having deposited thereon a conductive material;
• at least one negative electrode;
• and
• electrolyte.
