Abstract
A lithium battery characterized in that the anode (1) is formed from a carbon fibril material comprised of an aggregate of fibrils or non-aggregated mass of fibrils having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 100 microns in which fine, filiform carbon fibrils of 3.5 to 75 nm an in diameter are intertwinned with each other, and fibrils being intercalated with lithium. The cathode (3) also contains carbon fibrils.
