1. A wet electrolytic capacitor comprising:
an anode;
a cathode containing a plurality of metal particles disposed on a surface of a substrate and sinter bonded thereto, wherein the metal particles have a median size of from about 20 to about 500 micrometers, further wherein a coating overlies the metal particles and the substrate, the coating comprising electrochemically-active particles; and
an electrolyte disposed between the cathode and anode.
