PURPOSE:To reduce the scale of whole electrolytic equipment, and to eliminate useless power loss due to lean wire, by providing solar cell in electrolytic cell in said equipment using solar cell as electric source. CONSTITUTION:The electric source 13 contg. solar cell of almost half circle arc state in longitudinal sectional shape is provided on the surface of an electrolyte 12, in the electrolytic cell 11 contg. electrolyte 12. Top end layer of the source 13 is made of light transmissive and insulating substrate 14, and both ends thereof are protruded from surface of the electrolyte 12. Amorphous photodetecting surface of the solar cell 15 is piled to underside of the substrate 14, and the underside is covered with an electrolyte resistant and insulating protective sheet 16. The under surface of the sheet 16 is covered with electrode sheets 17, 17 made of metal such as Pt, Au without corroded by electrolyte, and the sheet are connected to a positive pole 15a and a negative pole 15b of the cell 15 respectively. Since lead wire for connecting electrode and solar cell is unnecessary, power is not consumed at all by lead wire and the source 13 is assembled in the cell 11, the scale of equipment can be reduced. |
