Abstract
The present invention is related to an electrochemical cell comprising an anode of a Group IA metal and a cathode of a mixed phase metal oxide prepared from a combination of starting materials comprising vanadium oxide and a mixture of at least one of a decomposable silver-containing constituent and a decomposable copper-containing constituent. The starting materials are mixed together to form a homogeneous admixture that is not further mixed once decomposition heating begins to form the product active material. The present cathode material is particularly useful for implantable medical applications.
