Electrochemical cells with lithium alloy anodes

Abstract

Electrochemical cells and methods of preventing overheating of the same are disclosed. An electrochemical cell may include a cathode and an anode. The anode may include a lithium alloy. The anode may be configured to reduce a maximum rate of ion transfer between the anode and the cathode in response to an occurrence of a fault condition. The lithium alloy may comprise at least 70 weight percent lithium to 99 weight percent lithium.
