TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY - Preferred Process: In the process (P1), the silver oxide after the drying in step (c) has a Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area of 0.4-0.7 (preferably 0.6-0.65) m2/g, and a d50 of 2-7 (preferably 3-5) mu m. In the further processing step (d), the fluorinated polymer (0.5-20, preferably 2-10 parts by weight (pbw)), silver (1-20, preferably 2-10 pbw) in the form of silver particles, and silver oxide (60-98.5, preferably 70-95 pbw) in the form of silver oxide particles are used. The alkali metal hydroxide in the alkali metal hydroxide solution is used in step (a) in a molar excess relative to the silver salt. The ratio of alkali metal hydroxide in the alkali metal hydroxide solution in a molar excess relative to the silver salt is at least 1.1-1. The metering time is less than 10 minutes, the suspension is stirred over a period of at most 5 minutes, the temperature of the suspension is kept at 10-50 degrees C, and the precipitated silver oxide is removed from step (a) from the suspension by at least once filtering the suspension and washing the silver oxide. The metering time is less than 1 minute and the temperature of the suspension is kept at 25-30 degrees C. In the further processing step (d), the dry production process is employed by pressing a pulverulent mixture of silver oxide, a catalyst comprising silver particles, and a finely divided fluorinated polymer with an electrically conductive support material to give a flat oxygen-consuming electrode. Preferred Electrode: The oxygen-consuming electrode comprises silver oxide particles having a d90 of less than 13 mu m.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The silver salt solution is a silver nitrate solution. The alkaline solution is an aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The alkali metal chloride is sodium chloride, and/or potassium chloride (preferably sodium chloride). EXAMPLE - Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (160 g) was dissolved in deionized water and diluted to give sodium hydroxide solution (1.3 liter). Silver nitrate (499 g) was dissolved with deionized water and diluted to silver nitrate solution (1.3 liter). A beaker (5 liter) was initially charged at room temperature with the sodium hydroxide solution while stirring and the silver nitrate solution was added within 20 seconds at a stirrer speed of 250 revolutions per minute (rpm), followed by stirring for 5 minutes. The suspension was filtered through a white-band filter on a porcelain suction filter for 10 minutes. The filtercake was washed five times more with half a liter each time of deionized water on the suction filter. Then, entire filtercake was slurred in deionized water (3 liter), filtered on a new white-band filter and washed three times with half a liter each time of deionized water on the suction filter. The filtercake was dried in a vacuum drying cabinet at 120 degrees C for 5 hours to give silver(I) oxide (Q1) having a specific BET surface area of 0.63 m2/g. A powder mixture (0.16 kg) consisting of Dyneon TF2053Z type (RTM: polytetrafluoroethylene powder)(7 wt.%), silver(I) oxide (Q1) (86 wt.%), and Ferro 331 type (RTM: silver powder) (7 wt.%) were mixed 4 times in a dual-speed mixer, for 15 seconds each time. After the mixing, the powder mixture was sieved with a mesh size of 1 mm. The sieved powder mixture was applied to a mesh of nickel wire with a wire thickness of 0.14 mm and a mesh size of 0.5 mm. The application was effected with a template of thickness 2 mm, and the powder was applied with a sieve having a mesh size of 1 mm. Excess powder which projected over the thickness of the template was removed using a skimmer. After removal of the template, the support with the powder mixture applied was pressed using a roller press with a pressing force of 0.26 kN/cm, and then the oxygen-consuming electrode was removed from the roller press.
