摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to an electrochemical cell of the alkaline electrolyte type comprising an alkaline electrolyte (24), an electrochemical bundle, a positive terminal (30) and a negative terminal (28). The electrochemical bundle comprises at least one electrochemical pair constituted by a positive electrode (14), a negative electrode (16) and a separator interposed in between. Respectively, the positive and negative electrodes of each of the at least one electrochemical pair are electrically connected to the positive and the negative terminals. The electrochemical cell further comprises a device for electrochemical recombination of oxygen comprising a catalytically active substrate (26) adapted for the oxygen recombination to take place. Said catalytically active substrate is electrically connected to the negative terminal and electrically isolated from the positive terminal, and the catalytically active substrate is distinct from the electrochemical bundle and in contact with the alkaline electrolyte.</p> |
