An alloy includes lithium, silicon and tin. An anode may be formed of an anode material containing the alloy of lithium, silicon and tin. The anode material may include an electrolyte. The anode material may be a pressed powder pellet that is solid at ambient temperature. A battery, for example, a thermal battery, can contain an electrolyte-separator, a cathode, and/or an anode with the alloy of lithium, tin and silicon. The anode formed of the alloy consisting of lithium, tin and silicon can have a melting point from about 500&#xb0; C. to about 600&#xb0; C. or higher making it suitable for use in a thermal battery.

Li&#x2014;Si&#x2014;Sn alloy, anode material of the alloy, and batteries including same

A eutectic formulation of KOH and NaOH is used as an electrolyte or an electrolyte-separator. An anode, and/or a cathode can contain the eutectic formulation of KOH and NaOH. A battery can contain an electrolyte-separator, an anode, and/or a cathode with the eutectic formulation of KOH and NaOH. The electrolyte in the electrolyte-separator can have a melting point from about 170&#xb0; C. to about 300&#xb0; C. making it suitable for use in a thermal battery that does not require a pyrotechnic device for certain high-temperature applications.

Electrolyte materials, thermal battery components, and thermal batteries for intermediate temperature applications

A cathode material includes a primary active cathode material and an amount of NiS. Primary batteries (e.g., thermal batteries) can be provided that contain such a cathode material.

Thermal battery cathode materials containing nickel disulfide and batteries including same

Cathode materials for use in thermal batteries are disclosed. The cathode material includes a primary active material and an amount of a bi-metal sulfide such as CuFeS. Batteries (e.g., thermal batteries) that contain such cathode materials are also disclosed.

Thermal battery cathode materials and batteries including same

Ternary or quaternary electrolyte material for use in thermal batteries that is substantially free of binders is disclosed. Composites of electrodes and electrolytes that contain the electrolyte material and batteries that contain the electrolyte material are also disclosed.
