Claim 5:
6. The method of claim 1 wherein:
a. the solid-phase particles are non-solvating; and
b. the removing at least some of the exposed non-solvating solid-state particles comprises:
i. dislodging by thermal treatment or annealing by laser, etching by the laser, oven heating, photonic treatment, heating/annealing, chemical etching methods with solutions of low concentrations of acids/solvents, or with dry etching to sufficiently degrade a superficial layer of the reduced electroactive material to release embedded porogens but not sufficiently strong to degrade underlying reduced electroactive material.
