Abstract
Abstract The present invention is directed to an electric current-producing cell which contains: (a) an anode having as its anode-active material one or more metals selected from a group consisting of Periodic Table Group Ia metals, Group Ib metals, Group IIa metals and Group IIb metals; a cathode, comprising: (i) metalized containment means having a plurality of apertures therein, said apertures having an average cross-sectional dimension of about 1 to about 100 microns; and (ii) cathode-active molybdenum sulfide contained within said metalized containment means; and (c) an electrolyte which is chemically inert with respect to said anode and said cathode and which permits the migration of ions between said anode and said cathode.
