摘要

ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS HAVING LOW VAPOR PRESSURECOMPLEXED SO2 ELECTROLYTESA non-aqueous electrochemical cell having a solid active cathode,an active metal anode and a low vapor pressure highly conductive electrolytecomprising a liquid solvate-complex of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and analkali or alkaline earth metal salt soluble therein such as those havinga Group 3A element halide anion with the ratio of salt to SO2 in saidelectrolyte ranging from about 1:1 to 1:7.
