LITHIUM ANODE COMPRISING COPPER STRIP IN CONTACT WITH LITHIUM BODY AND LITHIUM-SULFUR DIOXIDE BATTERY UTILIZING SAME

摘要

A lithium anode comprising in contact therewith a copper strip extending the substantial length of said anode for utilization in a lithium-sulfur dioxide cell. The copper strip provides a convenient means for fabrication of a lithium-sulfur dioxide coulombically balanced cell as herein defined, and prevents detrimental effects such as bulging, venting, or explosion of the cell when the cell is subjected to forced discharge.
