Abstract

There are provided novel anodes for lithium alloy electrochemical cells, and cells based on such anodes. The alloys used comprise one or more active metals which leaves or leave the anode matrix during discharge of the cell, with the alloy remaining in an intermediate variostoichiometric range during both charge and discharge of the cell. The curve of open circuit voltage as well as working condition voltage versus lithium content of the anode slopes, with no appreciable plateau. A specific embodiment relates to such anodes with a solid polymer electrolyte containing a suitable polymer. Another embodiment refers to porous electrodes made by sintering an alloy powder with a binder.
