Abstract
An electrochemical cell comprising an active metal anode and an electrolyte solvent/cathode depolarizer which reduces anode passivation during long time storage, even at elevated temperatures, by the inclusion of a minor proportion of an electrolyte salt additive having a clovoborate anion structure.
Claims14
An electrochemical cell comprising an anode, a cathode depolarizer, a cathode collector, and an electrolyte comprising said depolarizer having dissolved therein a first electrolyte salt and a minor amount of a second salt having a metal cation and a clovoborate anion, said second salt being present in an amount sufficient to alleviate voltage delay.
