Abstract
An electrochemical cell module has an outer shell of conductive material defining a cavity, an electrolytic membrane located in the cavity, first and second pervious electrodes located on opposite sides of the membrane, and a seal member located between the second electrode and the outer shell. Contacts for connecting a power source across the electrodes are provided on the second electrode and on the outer shell on the same side of the membrane as the second electrode, and the outer shell provides a current collector for the first electrode without requiring any external leads across the module.
