Chang, C H; Longo, J M

The present invention is directed to an electric current-producing cell which contains an anode having as its anode-active material one or more alkali metals; a cathode having as its cathode-active material one or more carbon--sulfur compounds having the formula C/sub x/S, wherein x is a numerical value within the range of about 4 to about 50; and an electrolyte which is chemically inert with respect to the anode and cathode and which permits the migration of ions between the anode and cathode. 6 figures, 3 tables.
