POROUS CONDUCTIVE MEMBER FOR WATER ELECTROLYSIS, AND FUNCTIONAL WATER GENERATOR USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a porous conductive member for water electrolysis which is obtained by using hydrophobic binder material having been considered unsuitable for water electrolysis, and nonetheless achieves improved electrolytic efficiency.SOLUTION: The porous conductive member for water electrolysis includes a porous conductor part 2 containing hydrophilized electrode active material 4 and binder material 5, and a collector part 3 which is abutted on or included in a surface of the porous conductor part. The binder material is composed of hydrophobic material. A functional water generator includes the porous conductive member for water electrolysis as an electrode performing absorption and desorption of metal ions in a diaphragmless electrolytic cell of one cell type.
