Abstract:
Current collectors and methods are provided that relate to electrodes that are useful in electrochemical cells. The provided current collectors include a metallic substrate, a substantially uniform nano-scale carbon coating, and an active electrode material. The coating has a maximum thickness of less than about 200 nanometers.

Abstract:
An article is provided that includes a substrate, a silicon containing layer on the substrate, and a layer including metallic Pt on the silicon containing layer. The silicon containing layer is a diamond-like glass layer. Optionally, the substrate is a porous membrane. In some cases, the silicon containing layer is a continuous layer.
