A monopolar or bipolar electrochemical terminal unit having an electric current transmission element.

摘要

The invention is an electrochemical terminal unit suitable for use in monopolar or bipolar electrochemical cells comprising:
an electric current current transmission element (ECTE) In the form of a substantially planar, electrically conductive support portion (17) having a plurality of bosses (18) on at least one face of the support portion, and a frame-like flange portion (16) extending around a peripheral edge of the support portion,a liner having a profile matching the face of the ECTE and made from a corrosion resistant metal, wherein said liner is disposed against at least one of the opposite surfaces of said ECTEforaminous electrode components (36) are disposed against said liner, said electrode components and said liner being connected together to at least a portion of said bosses; andan electrical connection means (21) for connecting a pole of an electric current power supply to said ECTE.
