Air electrodes for use in electrochemical energy cells which comprise a hydrophilic layer and a hydrophobic layer laminated thereto. The hydrophilic layer essentially comprises a hydrophilic composite which includes I. an oxygen absorption/reduction carbon, Ii. a material selected from the group consisting of A. CuWO. sub. 4, NiWO. sub. 4, CoWO. sub. 4 and WC with 1-20 wt. % Co. for a unifunctional electrode, or B. WS. sub. 2, WC, and WC with 1-20 Wt. % Co. for a bi-functional electrode, and Iii. a nonwetting agent containing a polytetrafluoroethylene. A metal current collector is molded into the composite to form a substantially flat hydrophilic layer. A catalyst is preferably incorporated into the composite of a bifunctional electrode to increase cycling life. The hydrophobic layer, comprising a sheet of porous fluorinated ethylene propylene, polypropylene or polytetrafluoroethylene, is laminated to the hydrophilic layer to complete the air electrodes of the invention.
