This patent describes a method for producing an electrode for generating electrical power in an electrochemical cell apparatus, comprising steps of: (a) placing a core portion composed of titanium in a plating bath which contains dissolved lead (Pb) ions; (b) electroplating the dissolved lead onto one or more faces of the core portion member to produce a substantially non-porous, continuous layer of lead on the core portion faces; and (c) heating the electroplated core portion to diffuse the lead into the core portion a limited distance which leaves a residual layer in the core portion that contains substantially zero lead.
