NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL

摘要

A non-aqueous cell comprising an active metal anode, such as lithium, a liquid cathode-electrolyte comprising a solute dissolved in a solvent which is an oxyhalide of an element of Group V or Group VI of the Periodic Table and wherein elemental sulfur or a sulfur compound is incorporated into the cathode-electrolyte so as to substantially eliminate initial voltage delay of the cell during discharge.
