Title:
WATER ELECTROLYSIS CELL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/023535
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a water electrolysis cell which generates hydrogen and oxygen in a gas phase. [Solution] The structure in which an anode and a cathode which are formed by including a water shedding material are joined to both sides of a proton conducting porous electrolyte is provided. On opposite side surfaces of the joined surfaces of the anode and the cathode with the porous electrolyte, an anode chamber and a cathode chamber are formed, respectively. With this structure, a direct current is caused to flow between the anode and the cathode with a gap of the porous electrolyte filled with water, thereby generating oxygen gas on the anode under a gas phase state, and hydrogen ions generated at the same time move in the porous electrolyte, obtain electrons on the cathode, and thus turn into hydrogen gas under the gas phase state.
