This patent describes an electrochemical cell comprising: an aqueous alkaline electrolyte; an electrode assembly comprising, an electrically conductive metallic substrate defining an anode face, an anode disposed on and in electrical contact with the anode face and defining an interface. The anode comprises a metal reactive in the presence of an aqueous electrolyte. A layer of electrically insulating material with perforations is bonded to the anode face between the substrate and the anode, the perforations permitting electrical contact between the anode and the substrate; and a cathode spaced in mechanical contact with the aqueous alkaline electrolyte during operation of the cell.
