Abstract
A primary electrochemical cell having an oxidizable active anode material, a cathode current collector, and an electrolytic solution comprising a liquid cathode material and an electrolyte solute dissolved therein. The cathode current collector includes a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyenes, polyphenylenes, polyheterocyclics, mixtures thereof, copolymers thereof, and cross linked polymers thereof.
Claims10
An electrochemical cell comprising
- an oxidizable active anode material;
- a cathode current collector consisting of a mixture of a polymer and carbon black, and a supporting substrate;
- said polymer being selected from the group consisting of polyacetylenes, polyphenylenes, polyheterocyclics, mixtures thereof, copolymers thereof, and cross linked polymers thereof;
- and
- an electrolytic solution, in contact with the anode material and cathode current collector, comprising a reducible liquid cathode material and an electrolyte solute dissolved therein.
