Abstract: An electrode for electrochemical processes for gas production, which in the installed state is located parallel and opposite to an ion exchange membrane and consists of a multitude of horizontal lamellar elements which are structured and three-dimensionally shaped and are in contact with only one surface with the membrane, wherein the lamellar elements have grooves and holes, the major part of the holes being placed in the grooves and the surfaces of such holes or part thereof are located in the grooves or extend into the grooves whereby the holes are ideally placed in the contact area of the respective lamellar element with the membrane.

Abstract: An electrolytic cell consisting of two semi-shells and encompassing mainly the inlet and outlet devices, components for the flow control, a membrane as well as anode and cathode.

Abstract: An electrolysis cell comprising an anodic compartment and a cathodic compartment separated by an ion-exchange membrane, at least one of said compartments equipped with a gas-diffusion electrode having two major surfaces, the first major surface of said gas-diffusion electrode facing the membrane and being in contact with a planar porous element to be traversed by an electrode flow, the second major surface of said gas-diffusion electrode being in contact with a current distributor comprising a multiplicity of elastic conductive protrusions for compressing said gas-diffusion electrode against said planar porous element.
