Abstract
A primary electrochemical cell having an oxidizable active anode material, a cathode current collector, and an electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution consists essentially of liquid cathode material, an electrolyte solute for imparting conductivity, and iodine monochloride for catalyzing the electroreduction of the liquid cathode material. In specific embodiments the anode material was lithium, the liquid cathode material was thionyl chloride or sulfuryl chloride and the electrolyte solute was lithium tetrachloroaluminate.
