A cathode current collector coated with a noble metal to increase electric conductivity is provided for use in an alkaline battery. Kind Code: A1 An active material, such as carbon fluoride, in contact with a lithium-containing anode and a conductive current collector having titanium coated with any of gold, iridium, palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, and mixtures thereof. An electrochemical cell comprising a cathode comprising a substance and an electrolyte activating the anode and the cathode. [Effect] Even after being subjected to a high temperature, a higher rate of performance is given to the battery. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1 |
