DEHUMIDIFYING ELEMENT FORMED BY USING SOLID HIGH-POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide the dehumidifying element with which the adhesion of membranes and base materials is well maintained and which has high mechanical stability even if retaining jigs, etc., are omitted. CONSTITUTION:An anode 1 and cathode 2 have catalyst layers 11 and the porous base materials 12. The base materials penetrate the solid high-polymer electrolyte membranes 3 and the catalyst layer are formed in the penetrated parts. Intermediate electrodes which generate hydrogen from proton and conversely convert the generated hydrogen again to the proton are provided in addition to the anode and the cathode. The base materials of the intermediate electrodes penetrate the solid high-polymer electrolyte membranes 3 as well and the catalyst layers are formed in the penetrated parts.
