Nonaqueous battery with organic compound cathode

摘要

A battery embodying this invention comprises: an anode including an anode-active material formed of one metal selected from the Group Ia metals or preferably lithium metal; a cathode including a cathode-active material formed of metal or metal-free organic compounds having a phthalocyanine function or organic compounds having a porphin function; and an electrolyte prepared from a material which is chemically stable to the cathode and anode materials and permits the migration of the ion of the anode metal to the cathode for electrochemical reaction with the cathode-active material.
