[ We claim:] [1.]1. A process for preparing an electrochemically active layer on a substrate comprising the steps of:(a) forming a liquid mixture of an electrochemically active material and an electrochromically-inert additive selected from the group consisting of reducing agents and oxidizing agent

[ We claim:] [1.]1. A process for preparing an electrochemically active layer on a substrate comprising the steps of:(a) forming a liquid mixture of an electrochemically active material and an electrochromically-inert additive selected from the group consisting of reducing agents and oxidizing agents;(b) contacting the liquid mixture to the substrate; and(c) optionally exposing said contacted substrate to a temperature for a sufficient length of time for the electrochromically-inert additive to reduce or oxidize the electrochemically active material.
