Abstract

An electrode structure for electrolysis of water comprising a sheet formed from an electrically non-conductive material whose both sides are laminated with a sheet formed from an electrically conductive material, and a plurality of holes having been bored through said laminated sheet. A net shape sheet of an electrically non-conductive material or an electrically conductive material can be used as the electrically non-conductive sheet or as the electrically conductive sheet. After setting one said electrically conductive sheet as an anode and another one as a cathode, the sterilization of water by electrolysis is carried out by immersing at least a portion of the electrode structure into water, and applying an electric voltage across the anode and the cathode.
