1. An electrochemical cell comprising:

  • (a) a working electrode comprising a first encapsulant layer, having a first set of nanostructured elements embedded therein, wherein one end of each nanostructured element is embedded within the encapsulant layer and the other end of each nanostructured element is coincident with a first surface of the first encapsulant layer, such that the first surface is a conductive surface;

    (b) a counter electrode comprising a second encapsulant layer, having a second set of nanostructured elements embedded therein, wherein one end of each nanostructured element is embedded within the encapsulant layer and the other end of each nanostructured element is coincident with a first surface of the second encapsulant layer, such that the first surface is a conductive surface; and

    (c) at least one electrolyte [such that]provided the electrolyte is in intimate contact with the conductive surface of both sets of nanostructured elements of the working and counter electrodes.
