Electrolytic apparatus utilizing a transition metal-graphite intercalation compound cathode

摘要

Disclosed is a method of electrolyzing an alkali metal chloride brine where the cathode is an intercalation compound of graphite and a transition metal. Also disclosed is a solid polymer electrolyte having as its cathode an intercalation compound of graphite and a transition metal, and an electrolytic cell having as its cathode an intercalation compound of graphite and a transition metal.
