An element being an electrode ( 23 ) for an electrochemical cell ( 27 ), which comprises an electrically conductive substrate ( 28 ) and an electrically conductive corrosion resistant coating ( 29 ) comprising a multielement material, which coating is formed on and at least partially covering said conducting substrate, is disclosed. There is also disclosed a method in manufacturing of such electrode and a use of the multielement material for corrosion protection of an electrode for an electrochemical cell. The multielement material has a composition of at least one of a carbide or nitride described by the formula M q A y X z , where M is a transition metal or a combination of transition metals, A is a group A element or a combination of group A elements, X is carbon or nitrogen or both, and z and at least one of q and y are numbers above zero. The multielement material further comprises at least one nanocomposite ( 4 ) comprising single elements, binary phases, ternary phases, quaternary phases or higher order phases based on the atomic elements in the corresponding M q A y X z compound. |
