Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An electrode apparatus adapted for use in electrochemical systems (10) having an anode compartment (20) and a cathode compartment (18) in which gas and ions are produced and consumed in the compartments during generation of electrical current. The electrode apparatus includes a membrane (22) for separating the anode compartment from the cathode compartment wherein the membrane (22) is permeable to both ions and gas. The cathode (24) and anode (26) for the assembly are provided on opposite sides of the membrane (22). During use of the membrane-electrode apparatus in electrochemical cells, the gas and ions generated at the cathode (24) or anode (26) migrate through the membrane (22) to provide efficient transfer of gas and ions between the anode compartment (20) and cathode compartment (18).
