Abstract
An electrochemical cell and a method of controllably generating electricity with the cell wherein the cell comprises an anode of a metal which is highly reactive with water, a cathode of a nonreactive, electrically conductive material spaced from the anode, and an electrolyte which is an aqueous solution of a negatively charged electrolytic ionic specie and which is saturated with respect to the electrochemical reaction product between the anodic metal and the electrolytic ionic specie. The cell advantageously operates at elevated temperatures, is stable and safe, generates high current densities, provides a readily manageable electrolyte system and is controllable by control of the operating temperature alone.
