Electrochemical Methods and Materials

A method of forming a precursor substance for forming an electrode of an electrochemical cell. The method comprises providing particles of an electrode-forming material and coating the particles with an inert material to form coated particles. The inert material is inert with respect to the electrode-forming material. The coated particles are mixed with a liquid or gel carrier medium to form the precursor substance. Useful new electrochemical products are provided.
