ELECTROLYSIS APPARATUS USING A DIAPHRAGM OF A SOLID POLYMER ELECTROLYTE

摘要

Electrolysis apparatus comprises a diaphragm (21) of a solid polymer electrolyte, and an anode electrode structure (22) and a cathode electrode structure (23) located on opposite sides respectively of the diaphragm (21). At least one of the electrode structures (22, 23) intimately contacts the surface of the diaphragm (21) and comprises a gas-permeable electrically conductive substrate (24) and a film-like porous electrode catalyst layer (25) bonded integrally thereto.
