摘要

A polymer-gel-coated conductor comprises a conductor member coated with a cross-linked polymer in a gel state, wherein a oxidative product or a reduction product of an organic or inorganic matter is precipitated on the surface of the conductor member or in the region of the polymer in gel state near the surface of the conductor member. The presence of an electrolyte throughout the polymer gel is preferred. The organic oxidative or reduction products can be polyaniline, polypyrole, polythiophene or polyindole and the inorganic ones can be zinc, copper, mercury, iron, nickel or cadmium. The polymer-gel-coated conductors can be used as electrodes in an electric cell.
