Abstract: Method for making a gas diffusion electrode, whereby at least one layer of a liquid (7) containing active particles and a binding agent in a solvent is sprinkled or atomized on a porous, hydrophobic support (8), characterized in that the sprinkling or atomization is carried out by adding heat to the sprinkled or atomized liquid, so that the solvent is partly evaporated before the support (8) is reached.

Abstract: Gas diffusion electrode with catalyst for an electrochemical cell with solid electrolyte, in particular for a fuel cell with solid electrolyte, which electrode contains a hydrophobic, porous back support (12), a non-catalytic intermediate layer (13) which contains electron conductive material and an active catalytic layer (14) which contains bound catalyst particles, characterized in that the intermediate layer (14) contains a mixture of electron conductive material and a proton conductive ionomer, and in that the active layer (14) forms the outside layer and the catalyst particles are bound by a proton conductive ionomer
