Abstract
A zero-gap type electrolytic cell 11 characterized as having a hydrophilic liquid-permeable material 16 interposed between an ion-exchange membrane 12 and a gas diffusion cathode 17. The reaction product passes through the liquid-permeable material and disperses toward edges of the liquid-permeable material before being withdrawn. Hence, the withdrawal direction for the target reaction product is not opposite the feed direction for the reactant gas.
