Abstract
An alkaline water electrolyzer includes at least two outer frames, a gasket, and a diaphragm. The at least two outer frames are stacked so as to overlap at least in part in a circumferential direction. The gasket is sandwiched between the two outer frames. The gasket can be in contact with the outer frames over the entire circumferential direction. In an inner peripheral surface of the gasket, a slit is formed along the circumferential direction. The gasket has a first protrusion portion. The first protrusion portion protrudes over the entire circumferential direction at a position overlapping the slit when viewed from a thickness direction of the slit. A diaphragm is caught in the slit of the gasket. A volume ratio of volume of the first protrusion portion, to volume between a bottom of the slit and an end of the diaphragm, is between 0.5 and 100 inclusive.
