Abstract

A method of preparing a solid current collector containing carbon and metal for use in an electrochemical cell comprising a consummable metal anode, a liquid cathode and said current collector, said method comprising providing a solution of a salt of said metal, wetting carbon with said solution, removing the solvent and exposing the solid composition of carbon and metal salt to a reducing atmosphere to reduce the metal ions to elemental metal.
