Abstract
Disclosed is an electrolytic cell having electrode units of opposite polarity where each of the electrode units have fingered electrodes extending outwardly therefrom toward the electrode unit of opposite polarity. In this way, the electrodes are interleaved between electrodes of opposite polarity. At least one of the electrode units has a base plate with fingered electrodes mechanically and electrically connected thereto. The fingered electrodes bear a synthetic separator such as a microporous diaphragm or a permionic membrane thereon with lap at the base. The electrolytic cell is characterized by a fingered, interleaved electrode of the electrode unit of opposite polarity compressively bearing upon the lap, whereby to provide an electrolyte-tight seal.
