Abstract:
1. A method for providing an electrochemical cell, comprising the steps of: a) providing an anode of an alkali metal; b) providing a cathode of a cathode active material selected from the group consisting of: c) providing a binder mixture, comprising the steps of: d) combining the cathode active material with the binder slurry to form a cathode active slurry; e) coating the cathode active slurry onto at least one side of a conductive substrate to form a cathode structure; f) drying the cathode structure to form the cathode; g) providing a separator intermediate the anode and the cathode in electrical association with each other to form an electrode assembly; h) housing the electrode assembly inside a casing with the anode connected to an anode terminal and the conductive substrate of the cathode connected to a cathode terminal; i) activating the electrode assembly housed in the casing with an electrolyte; and j) closing the casing.
