NOVELTY - Forming an electrode having a metal substrate for at least one of rechargeable lithium batteries, ultracapacitors and solar cells involves filling a barrel of a detonation gun blast chamber with an explosive mixture through valves (107, 108, 109); cutting off of the explosive mixture with inert gas; applying the powder of the substance to be deposited on the substrate through batchers (111, 112); igniting the explosive mixture by a candle to explode the explosive mixture; and purging a gun barrel using the neutral gas through one of the valves.    USE - For forming electrode having metal substrate for at least one of rechargeable lithium batteries, ultracapacitors and solar cells (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method improves adhesion of active electrode material to the substrate, electrochemical characteristics of the active material, and a cycling efficiency of a power source, to form a layer of the active material by using gas detonation deposition; fabricates the electrodes layers with high-speed forming, high specific charge-discharge characteristics, good adhesion to the substrate, and at low cost; and does not require lengthy procedures for processing the initial powders and the layers.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Forming an electrode having a metal substrate for at least one of rechargeable lithium batteries, ultracapacitors and solar cells to improve adhesion of active electrode material to the substrate, electrochemical characteristics of the active material, and a cycling efficiency of a power source, to form a layer of the active material by using gas detonation deposition where the layers of deposited active material are formed by deposition of particles of the powder of a various composition and size on the substrate and accelerating the deposition by detonation wave, obtained as result of ignition of an explosive mixture (113) with the layer of deposited material undergoes further processing in a high-frequency plasma or high-temperature annealing, chemical or electrochemical etching, depending on the type of source material, involves filling a barrel of a detonation gun blast chamber with an explosive mixture through valves (107, 108, 109); cutting off of the explosive mixture with inert gas; applying the powder of the substance to be deposited on the substrate through batchers (111, 112); igniting the explosive mixture by a candle to explode the explosive mixture; and purging a gun barrel using the neutral gas through one of the valves.
