Abstract:
1. A method for producing a bipolar device comprising: providing a medium, a first electroactive material and a second electroactive material, wherein the medium is electronically-insulating and ionically-conductive; combining the first and second electroactive materials and the medium, wherein the first electroactive material has lower density than the second electroactive material and the first and the second electroactive materials float or sink at a different rate in the medium; segregating at least a portion of the first electroactive material into a first spatial region that is essentially free of the second electroactive material to form a first network of electronically-connected first electroactive material; and segregating at least a portion of the second electroactive material into a second spatial region that is essentially free of the first electroactive material to form a second network of electronically-connected second electroactive material.
