An electrode module and a deionization apparatus using the same are provided to simplify the stack structure and reduce contact impedance by integrating the current collector and the power supply part using a protective film. An electrode module(100) comprises a current collector(120), electrodes(140), and a protective film(160). The current collector is supplied with external power. The electrodes are arranged on the top and bottom of the current collector and provided with power to adsorb and separate the ion dissolved in a fluid. The protective film greater than the current collector and the electrodes is attached to the current collector and the electrodes to integrate them. The protective film has an opening(160a) for exposing the electrodes to outside.
