Electrolytic cell, method for operating a cell of this type and electrolyser

The invention relates to an electrolytic cell, comprising a cathode half-cell (2) with a cathode (10), an anode half-cell (3) with an anode (11), and a separator (9) which separates the two half-cells (2, 3) from one another and which is designed to be permeable for an electrolyte (8) located in the half-cells (2, 3) in the operating state, wherein at least one inlet (4) for electrolyte (8) is provided in a first (2) of the two half-cells (2, 3) and at least one outlet (7), but no inlet, for electrolyte (8) is provided in the second half-cell (3), such that electrolyte (8) supplied via the at least one inlet (4) can be discharged via the at least one outlet (7) after passing through the separator (9). The invention also relates to a method for operating an electrolytic cell of this type as well as an electrolyser comprising a plurality of electrolytic cells of this type.
