An electrochemical cell includes an anode having a metal material having an oxygen containing layer. The electrochemical cell also includes a cathode and an electrolyte. The anode includes a protective layer formed by reacting a D or P block precursor with the oxygen containing layer. L'invention porte sur une pile électrochimique qui comprend une anode ayant un matériau métallique comprenant une couche contenant de l'oxygène. La pile électrochimique comprend également une cathode et un électrolyte. L'anode comprend une couche protectrice formée par réaction d'un précurseur bloc D ou P avec la couche contenant de l'oxygène.
