Preparation of a mixed ionically and electronically conductive polymer. An electronically conductive polymer 13, for example polypyrrole, polyaniline or polythiophene is formed by electropolymerisation in a rigid hydrophobic gel layer 9 of an ionically conductive ionomer such as Nafion. The gel layer initially contains the base monomer of the electronically conductive polymer, for example pyrrole, aniline or thiophene. An electrolyte can be introduced in the form of an aqueous solution 11 above the gel layer, or may be incorporated into the gel layer 9. It is also possible to include a membrane of ionomer, for example of Nafion, in the gel layer, to form the electronically conductive polymer within the thickness of this membrane. <IMAGE>
