Abstract
Electrochemical cells having an oxidizable active anode material, a solid metallic cathode current collector, and an electrolytic solution between and in contact with the anode and the cathode current collector, the electrolytic solution comprising a liquid covalent inorganic oxyhalide or thiohalide solvent and a solute dissolved therein, the inorganic solvent being the sole oxidant material and sole solvent material in the cell. The cathode comprises a solid, non-consumable, electrically conducting, inert current collector upon the surface of which the inorganic solvent is electorchemically reduced, whereby the inorganic solvent in conjunction with the oxidizable anode serves as a source of electrical energy during operation of the cell.
