A METHOD FOR PREPARING A FOAMED SILVER ELECTRODE WHICH COMPRISES FORMING A MIXTURE OF MONOVALENT SILVER OXIDE POWDER WITH A SILICA POWDER, THE WEIGHT RATIO OF SILVER OXIDE TO SILICA RANGING FROM ABOUT 7:1 TO ABOUT 8:1 TO FORM AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE ELECTRODE, SHAPING THE SILVER OXIDE-SILICA COMPOSITION BY COMPRESSING IT UNDER A PRESSURE RANGING FROM ABOUT 5 TO ABOUT 8 TONS PER SQUARE INCH, HEATING THE SHAPED SILVER OXIDE-SILICA COMPOSITION TO A TEMPERATURE RANGING FROM 550* C. TO ABOUT 600* C. SO AS TO DECOMPOSE SILVER OXIDE TO GENERATE OXYGEN AND PRODUCE A FOAMED STRUCTURE OF SILVER AND SILICA, AND THEREAFTER SINTERING THE FOAMED STRUCTURE AT A TEMPERATURE RANGING FROM ABOUT 950* C. TO ABOUT 1000* C., THE METHOD OF PRODUCING A FOAMED POROUS ELECTRODE IN WHICH SILVER IS PRESENT WITH SILICA AND IN WHICH THE PORES ARE INTERCONNECTED.
