Method for making layer electrodes

Method for the production of a coating for an electrode, having the steps of:

• introducing a deposit support electrode into an electrolyte space filled with an electrolyte and with a counterelectrode configuration,
• introducing additional electrodes in the electrolyte space, the additional electrodes being capable of transferring electrolyte additives from the solution of the electrolyte to the additional electrodes and dissolving electrolyte additives from the additional electrodes into the electrolyte upon the application of current to the additional electrodes,
• electrical connection of the deposit support electrode to the counterelectrode configuration by means of a current source,
• electrical connection of the additional electrodes to the current source,
• electrolyte deposition of a coating on the deposit support electrode by supplying current and voltage for a predetermined time to at least the deposit support electrode and counterelectrode configuration,
• during said electrolyte deposition step, controlling the composition and structure of the coating deposited on the deposit support electrode by supplying the additional electrodes with current in a time-controlled matter to take up electrolyte additives from the electrolyte and to deliver electrolyte additives to the electrolyte,
• separating the coated deposit support electrode from the counterelectrode configuration,
• following said separating step, removing the coated deposit support electrode from the electrolyte space,
• following said step of removing the coated deposit support electrode removing the deposited coating from the deposit support electrode, and
• following said step of removing the deposited coating, transferring the removed coating and pressing it on a separate support.
