MICRO-LAMELLAE ELECTRODE CELLS AND THEIR USE

Electrolytic cell comprises at least one inlet (2) and at least one outlet (3) for an electrolyte, and a number of planar electrodes provided with through openings. At least one planar electrode is formed as a functional coating as an anode with an over potential that is increased compared to a standard hydrogen electrode, for forming oxygen, and at least one further planar electrode form as a counter electrode (cathode). The neighboring electrodes have a mutual clearance of not > 0.5 mm. The electrodes are formed perpendicular to its surface by breaking slots (4) or rows of slots. Electrolytic cell comprises at least one inlet (2) and at least one outlet (3) for an electrolyte, and a number of planar electrodes provided with through openings. At least one planar electrode is formed as a functional coating as an anode with an over potential that is increased compared to a standard hydrogen electrode, for forming oxygen, and at least one further planar electrode form as a counter electrode (cathode). The electrodes are arranged in alternate or in pairs of alternating sequence with respect to their polarity, or arranged in a form of a stack (6). The electrolytic cell further comprises a number of frame elements respectively arranged between adjacent electrodes. The frame elements ensure a mutual electrical insulation, a mutual fluidic sealing and a defined mutual distance of each adjacent electrode. The electrode stack is incorporated between the inlet and the outlet such that a fluid-tight through-flow electrolyte path is produced from the inlet to the outlet through the electrode stack, towards the surroundings. The neighboring electrodes have a mutual clearance of not > 0.5 mm. The through openings in the electrodes are parallel to each other. The electrodes are formed perpendicular to its surface by breaking slots (4) or rows of slots, and relate to each other in a vertical clearance of at least twice the slot width to its maximum expansion. The slots or rows of slots extend parallel to each other in adjacent electrodes, and are defined and arranged perpendicular to the maximum dimension of the slots or rows of slots offset from each other such that that the distance of a row of slots in an electrode to each immediately adjacent row of slots in the immediately adjacent electrodes does not vary by greater than 25% An independent claim is also included for preparing of an electrolytic cell, comprising preparing the electrodes of a planar output format e.g.
