Abstract
An aqueous electrolysis cell for generation of gas includes an electrolysis container having an anode chamber and a cathode chamber separated from each other by a membrane. An anode and a cathode having permeability to gas and water are fitted on respective surfaces of the membrane. A first sealing element is fitted on the anode and the membrane to surround and seal circumference of the anode, one surface of the first sealing element being in tight contact with one surface of the membrane, and the first sealing element has an opening communicating with the anode. An anode current collector plate has one surface in tight contact with the other surface of the first sealing element, and a through-hole communicating with the opening of the first sealing element. A second sealing element has one surface in tight contact with the other surface of the anode current collector plate, and an opening communicating with the through-hole of the anode current collector plate. The anode, the opening of the first sealing element, the through-hole of the anode current collector plate and the opening of the second sealing element define in the anode chamber a flow passage for gas and liquid. A conduit is provided to connect the flow passage to a separator for collecting gas generated in the anode chamber.
