Multilayer electrode

A multi-layered and essentially flat electrode of an electrochemical system, particularly a battery or a capacitor, comprising of at least one highly conductive layer (3) and a storage layer (4) that is electrically connected to said conductive layer, a lattice structure having a storage layer made of woven or knitted plastic threads (5) that are rendered conductive, preferably threads made of synthetic material, in which electro-active material is embedded together with possible additives, characterized in that the local geometry of said lattice structure of said storage layer (4) is matched to the size and the electrical conductivity of the particles (1) of the embedded electro-active material and to the electric current density existing during the respective operation of said system in such a manner that, in case of poor conductivity of the particles (1) and/or of high local electric current density, essentially each individual particle (1) is in direct contact with said lattice threads (5), whereas, in case of good conductivity of the particles and/or of low local electric current density, particles (1) without their own direct contact with said lattice threads (5) have room in a lattice pocket (6), whereby the lattice pockets (6) have a larger volume with added distance away from the conductive layer (3) and/or from an external connection of the conductive layer (3).
