A solid-state reversible cell of the type Ag(Hg)/RbAg/sub 4/I/sub 5//I/sub 2/, TbAi, C, has been developed. The anodic and cathodic contact polarizations have been minimized by amalgamation of the silver electrode and the use of a suitable mixture made of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TbAi), iodine and graphite, respectively. The cell has an open-circuit voltage of 0.56v at 25/sup 0/C a total volume of 5 cm/sup 3/, an internal resistance of 30 ohms, short-circuit current of 1.5 A/Dm/sup 2/, and is rechargeable with high coulombic efficiency. 20 references.
