An electrochemical device includes at least one carrier substrate, and a
stack of functional layers including at least one electrically conducting
layer that includes metal oxide(s), and a multicomponent electrode
including at least one electrochemically active layer, at least one
higher-conductivity material and at least one network of one of
conducting wires and conducting strips. The higher-conductivity material
has a surface resistance that is lower than a surface resistance of the
electrically conducting layer. The stack of functional layers is arranged
between two substrates, and each may be rigid, of glass type or rigid
polymer or semi-rigid or flexible of PET type.
