Abstract
Abstract An inorganic nonaqueous electrolytic solution type cell comprising an oxyhalide which is in the liquid state at room temperature and serves as an active material for a positive electrode and as a solvent for an electrolytic solution; a negative electrode made of an alkali metal; a positive electrode made of a porous carbon molded article; and a separator which is positioned between said negative electrode and said positive electrode and comprises a nonwoven fabric of glass fibers and a microporous film having a substantially uniform micropores having curved passages, which cell suffers less decrease of closing voltage after storage and less formation of the internal short circuits due to vibration.
