ELECTROLYTIC CELL AND ELECTROLYTIC DEVICE

To provide an electrolytic cell and an electrolytic device capable of improving electrolysis efficiency.SOLUTION: Disclosed is an electrolytic cell comprising: a first separator having a first surface; a second separator arranged with a housing space between the first separator and itself and having a second surface facing the first surface; an ion exchange membrane arranged in the housing space; a first power feeder arranged between the first separator and the ion exchange membrane; a first catalyst layer arranged between the first power feeder and the ion exchange membrane; a second power feeder arranged between the second separator and the ion exchange membrane; a second catalyst layer arranged between the second power feeder and the ion exchange membrane; and a flow direction changing section which is provided as a part of the first separator or provided between the first separator and the first power feeder. The flow direction changing section changes the flow direction of at least a part of the electrolyte flowing in the first direction along the first surface to a second direction crossing the first surface at each of a plurality of positions in the first direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】電解効率の向上を図ることができる電解セルおよび電解装置を提供する。【解決手段】本開示の電解セルは、第１面を有した第１セパレータと、第１セパレータとの間に収容空間を空けて配置され、第１面に対向する第２面を有した第２セパレータと、収容空間に配置されたイオン交換膜と、第１セパレータと前記イオン交換膜との間に配置された第１給電体と、第１給電体とイオン交換膜との間に配置された第１触媒層と、第２セパレータとイオン交換膜との間に配置された第２給電体と、第２給電体とイオン交換膜との間に配置された第２触媒層と、第１セパレータの一部として設けられ、または第１セパレータと第１給電体との間に設けられ、第１面に沿って第１方向に流れる電解液の少なくとも一部の流れ方向を、第１方向における複数の位置の各々で、第１面とは交差する第２方向に変化させる流れ方向変化部とを備えている。【選択図】図７
