Anode structures for primary electrochemical cells. An anode structure in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention includes a metal screen (e.g., of nickel) and a plurality of spaced-apart lithium anode elements arranged in a predetermined pattern (e.g., row and column) and embedded within the metal screen. A metal frame is connected with and surrounds the metal screen and has an electrical terminal extending therefrom. An anode structure in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention is similar to that of the first embodiment with the exception that the spaces between the lithium anode elements of the anode structure of the second embodiment are filled with a heat-absorbing porous insulative separator material.
