Abstract
One aspect relates to a stimulation electrode including an electrically conducting base body. The base body encompasses tantalum and is at least partially covered with a porous tantalum oxide layer, which is anodically applied by means of high voltage pulses. Provision is made according to an embodiment for a metallic protective layer to cover the porous tantalum oxide layer so as to prevent a hydrogen embrittlement.
