Abstract
The invention is an electrochemical cell containing a separator-gas electrode combination comprising a separator having a first and a second face adapted to permit the flow of fluids or ions therethrough; a gas electrode adapted to permit a liquid and a gas to enter and exit the electrode and having at least a first and a second face; and a nonconductive self-draining member having a fluid outlet. The self-draining member has at least two faces; at least a portion of a first face contiguous to at least a portion of one face of the separator and at least a portion of a second face contiguous to at least a portion of one face of the gas electrode. The self-draining member has a plurality of interconnected passageways which are in fluid transferring communication with the separator, the gas electrode, and the fluid outlet and provide the major conduit therebetween. The invention also includes a method for electrochemically reacting a gas with a liquid in the cell above.
