Abstract
An electrode device with a support structure, an electroactive structure and a heat transfer structure. The support structure carries the electroactive structure and the heat transfer structure. The electroactive structure stores and releases charge carriers. The heat conductivity of the heat transfer structure is higher than the heat conductivity of any of the support structure or the electroactive structure. The electroactive structure is arranged at the support structure. The heat transfer structure is arranged at the electroactive structure. The heat transfer structure is oriented to guide heat away from a surface of the electroactive structure to prevent thermal tensions in its vicinity while providing diffusivity of the charge carriers to the surface.
