Abstract
A miniature electrochemical cell has a total volume that is less than 0.5 cc. The anode is a lithium sheet that is swaged onto an inner surface of a casing tube to form an anode lumen. The cathode comprises CFcontacting a rod-shaped current collector and the cathode having a cylindrical shape resides in the anode lumen. The rod-shaped cathode current collector has a cylindrically-shaped outer surface extending along a longitudinal axis. At least one helical groove recessed into the outer surface turns around the longitudinal axis at a constant distance while moving parallel to the axis. The helical groove prevents the CFfrom sliding on or delaminating from the rod-shaped current collector. A separator segregates the anode from contacting the cathode, and an electrolyte activates the anode/cathode.
