Method for manufacturing oxygen consumption electrodes

A powder mixture consisting of at least one polymer as a binder, preferably fluorinated polymer, more preferably polytetrafluoroethylene, and a catalytically active component, preferably silver oxide and/or silver is prepared. The powder mixture is applied on an electroconductive planar support component. The powder mixture on the support component is compressed using rolls having surface roughness of more than 0.5 Pm, preferably 0.1-0.35 Pm, and coated with tungsten carbide on roll surface and hardened by rolling. Thus, oxygen-consuming electrode is manufactured.
