The present invention relates to an electrochemical cell comprising an anode of a Group IA metal and a cathode of a composite material prepared from a first active cathode material of a transition metal phosphate mixed or added to a second active cathode material of a carbonaceous material. The cathode material of the present invention provides increased rate pulse performance compared to carbon monofluoride cathode material. In addition, the cathode material of the present invention is chemically stable which makes it particularly useful for applications that require increased rate capability in extreme environmental conditions such as those found in oil and gas exploration.
