STABLE ELECTRODE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention is of an electrode and may include: a substrate layer; an electroactive insoluble pole material, which is disposed on the substrate layer; and a non-water absorbing binder material which facilitates binding of the electroactive insoluble pole material to the substrate layer. Further, the present invention is of an electrode and may include: a substrate layer; a electroactive insoluble pole material, which is disposed on the substrate layer; a non-water absorbing binder material which facilitates binding of the electroactive insoluble pole material to the substrate layer; and an aqueous conductive substance disposed on the electroactive insoluble pole material. In addition, the present invention is of a current generating treatment device comprising an electrode system comprising: at least one first main electrode; and at least one second counter electrode of opposite polarity from the at least one first main electrode, wherein at least one of the first and second electrodes comprises a water resistant electrode comprising an electrode substrate layer; an electroactive insoluble pole material, which is disposed on the substrate layer; a non-water absorbing binder material which facilitates binding of the electroactive insoluble pole material to the substrate layer and at least one electrochemical cell, coupled to the electrode system, wherein the electrochemical cell provides the power for the current generating treatment device. The present invention also provides a method of making such an electrode and current generating treatment devices and uses thereof.
