ELECTROLYTIC CELL AND ELECTROLYZER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrolytic cell capable of suppressing deterioration of a cathode due to a reverse current when electrolysis is stopped.SOLUTION: An electrolytic cell 1 includes: an anode chamber 10; a cathode chamber 20; a partition wall 30 separating the anode chamber 10 and the cathode chamber 20; an anode 18 installed in the anode chamber 10; a cathode 21 installed in the cathode chamber 20; and a reverse current absorber 18 which has a substrate and a reverse current absorbing layer formed on the substrate and is installed in the cathode chamber. The anode 11 and the cathode 21 are electrically connected, and the cathode 21 and the reverse current absorbing layer are electrically connected.
