More Information
Summary:The invention relates to an electrode for electrolysis, whose front side comprises a plurality of substantially parallel channels defined by substantially parallel threads of electrically conducting material, which are attached to and in electric contact with the underlying electrode structure; the invention also relates to a method of producing the electrode, an electrolytic cell comprising the electrode, and the use of such an electrode in electrolysis; the electrode of the invention has an enlarged surface which facilitates the circulation of electrolyte and removal of gas, and can be employed in cells having thin, yieldable and fragile membranes.
