ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are gas fed, porous electrodes capable of steady, high current density operation for practical periods of service, e.g. as oxygen cathodes in metal-air batteries. The subject electrodes feature at least two bonded composite layers, one of which is a form-stable, conductive wetproofing layer while the other is an unusually thin active layer containing active carbon particles predominantly between about 2 and about 20 micrometers and having a high internal surface area, e.g. a B.E.T. surface area of over 1000 m.sup.2 /gram. A simple and highly successful method of preparing such electrodes is also disclosed, which avoids the necessity of separately forming and handling the thin active layer.
