Abstract: Electric accumulators of the type comprising an anode compartment containing an anode formed from at least one metal selected from the group consisting of metals belonging to Groups Ia, IIa, IIb and IIIb of the periodic table of elements; a cathode compartment containing a cathode formed at least partly from a conducting member comprising a substance capable of accepting electrons, to form anions by cathodic reduction, and an electrolyte consisting of a substance capable of dissolving the product or products generated during discharge of the accumulator; the anode compartment and cathode compartment being separated from each other by a wall impervious to fluids and formed from a solid mineral electrolyte capable of allowing selective migration of the anode metal, in the form of cations are improved by adding to the anode compartment a salt of the anode metal between the anode and the separation wall.

Abstract: An electrical storage battery, providing high energy density, comprises an anode compartment containing at least one reducer metal and a cathode compartment containing an electrically conductive solution of at least one salt of the said metal in a non-aqueous solution. The solution is in contact with at least one electron acceptor material and the two compartments are separated by a wall which is sealed to the fluids and is constituted by a solid material that allows the migration, at ambient temperature, of the reducer metal of the anode in the form of ions. The electron acceptor substance is soluble in the solution contained in the cathode compartment in the reduced form thereof, as well as in its original form. The battery enables storage of high power density energy in terms of both mass and volume.
