Zusammenfassung:2103671 9214272 PCTABS00014 This invention relates to galvanic seawater cells and batteries and in particular to cathodes which are suitable for use in galvanic cells that use an oxidant dissolved in the electrolyte as depolarizer. An example of such cells are seawater cells which use the oxygen dissolved in the seawater as oxidant. The cell has an inert electrode which consists of a number of conducting fibers (1, 3, 14) connected to a conducting body (2, 4, 15). The fibers (1, 3, 14) have different orientations relatively to each other and to the body (2, 4, 15). In a preferred embodiment the electrode body (2, 4) consists of two or more wires which are twisted together to constitute an electrode stem while clamping the fibers (1, 3) in fixed positions between the wires, as in a laboratory bottle brush.
