Carbon electrode assembly for lithium fused salt battery

摘要

An improved electrode assembly is provided which is adapted for use in a lithium-type fused salt battery. The electrode assembly comprises an electrically conductive current collector member, an electrically conductive header for making electrical contact with the electrical collector member, and a surface layer of porous carbon which essentially surrounds the exposed surface of the collector member with the porous carbon having the ability to absorb lithium ions and preferably an apparent density ranging from about 0.7 to about 1.0 grams per cubic centimeter.
