Appeal No. 95-1545
Application 07/842,329
electrochemical reagents at the surface of
the electrode, such that there are
insoluble metal salt particles located
between the metallic particles and the
surface of the electrode and the surface of
the electrode predominantly comprises metal
salt particles whereby the ratio of
metallic particles to insoluble metal salt
particles gradually increases from the
outermost towards the innermost portions of
the non-conductive matrix layer.
