An electrolytic device (20) comprising a structure (22) having a first surface (24) with a first surface area, a thickness region (29) and a plurality of openings (30) in the thickness region. The plurality of openings (30) is defined by a plurality of inner surfaces (34) that together have an inner surface area. The plurality of inner surfaces comprise silver. A metal-bearing material (40) other than silver is interspersed throughout at least some of the plurality of openings.

An electrolytic reactor including a conical recess of removable slices through which the electrolyte circulates towards a part to be coated under the action of a pump setting up forced circulation. The part is polarized to act as a cathode, facing a coaxial anode in the recess. This configuration leads to good electrolyte flow in front of the part, allowing accelerated deposit with a uniform thickness of the coating material, and dimensions of the chamber may be added.

This disclosure provides folded anode assemblies, conjoined cathode assemblies, and flat stack capacitor configurations comprising such assemblies, and methods of preparing the various assemblies. The anode assemblies, conjoined cathode assemblies and capacitor configurations disclosed herein can be used in implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
