SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES IN ALKALINE ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL ELECTRODES

Alkaline electrochemical cells are provided, wherein a conductive carbon is included in the cell's cathode in order to decrease resistivity of the cathode, so as to improve the discharge of the cell, particularly in high drain applications. The conductive carbon may comprise carbon nanotubes and/or graphene. Methods for preparing such cells are also provided.
