Electrochemical ozonizer and hydrogen generator

Abstract

The electrochemical ozonizer comprising at least one cell, each consisting of an anode, a cathode and an interposed full-area, cation-conducting membrane which is chemically stable to ozone as a solid electrolyte, is characterized in that the membrane conductively connects the anode and the cathode while forming flow channels for water that are separated from one another as anode and cathode chambers.
