1. A method for producing a two-layer noble metal mesh on a flat-bed knitting machine, the flat-bed knitting machine comprising a first and a second needle bed, the method comprising the steps of:
providing at least one noble-metal-containing wire, and
knitting the noble metal mesh,
the first layer of the noble metal mesh being knitted on the first needle bed and the second layer of the noble metal mesh being knitted on the second needle bed at the same time,
the two layers each comprising at least two abutting edges, wherein the first and the second layer of the noble metal mesh are connected, at least in part, at their two respective abutting edges thereof, by at least one connecting knit stitch.
