Abstract
The present invention provides a liquid cathode lithium cell including an electrolyte and a carbon-based electrode, said cell being characterized by the fact that said electrode is composed of a mixture of a carbon-containing material and of a binder to which an electroactive compound is added, said electroactive compound being more oxidizing than said electrolyte and having a reduction potential that is greater than 3 volts measured relative to a lithium electrode, the proportion of said electroactive compound lying in the range 10% to 80% by weight of said mixture.
