Abstract
An electrolysis cell, having an anode, a cathode, and a membrane that is situated between the anode and the cathode and contacts the anode via an anode contact area and contacts the cathode via a cathode contact area, wherein the cathode contact area is greater than the anode contact area, the membrane has a surface oriented toward the cathode that is greater than the cathode contact area, and the electrolysis cell has cathodically polarized surfaces that are in direct contact with the electrically conductive water. This invention also relates to a method for operating an electrolysis cell in natural water and a use of such an electrolysis cell for disinfecting water are also proposed.
