Abstract

Disclosed is a zero gap permionic membrane electrolytic cell where at least one electrode has hydrophilic resin bonded to the electrocatalyst and interposed between the electrocatalyst and the permionic membrane. This excludes electrolyte therefrom, reduces the likelihood of perforation of the permionic membrane, and provides enhanced electrical contact.
