An electrode structure for electrolyser cells |
(57) An electrode structure for electrolytic cells is disclosed. The electrode structure
comprises a central current-collector structure having high points on at least one
side and adapted to be placed vertically in the electrolytic cell, and a porous electrode
secured to the high points of the current-collector structure on at least one side
thereof so as to form an essentially-planar pre-electrode surface. The high points
of the current-collector are arranged so as to allow an unimpeded rise of the evolved
gases to the top of the electrode.
