Abstract
An electrochemical reactor arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine has a honeycomb member wherein a plurality of cells are formed. The honeycomb comprising an upstream and a downstream side partial honeycombs. The upstream side has a plurality of first and second cells arranged to at least partially adjoin the first cells through partition wall base members including an ion conductive solid electrolyte. The downstream side has a plurality of third and fourth cells arranged to at least partially adjoin the third cells through partition wall base members including an ion conductive solid electrolyte. The first and fourth cells have cathode layers, and second and third cells have anode layers. The electrochemical reactor is configured so all of the exhaust gas flowing through the first cells flows into the third cells and all of the exhaust gas flowing through the second cells flows into the fourth cells.
