A gel is created by the chosen design and is used to impregnate the anodic pores. This impregnated gel is placed between membrane walls and on top of the electrolyte. The anodic film is placed below the electrolyte, with the width of the cathode being much smaller than the height of the cathode. The separation of the cathodes by the membrane walls creates in essence a series of nanobatteries. This is helpful in research because it allows each set of cathode to be tested separately, or all at once.
