Abstract:
1. An electrolytic cell comprising: a containment vessel; a first electrode that comprises a separator; a second electrode; an electrolysis promoter retained on the surface of at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode; a source of electrical current in electrical communication with the first electrode and the second electrode; an electrolyte in fluid communication with the first electrode and the second electrode; a gas extraction area; and wherein the separator includes two inclined surfaces forming a “V” shape; wherein the separator directs flow of the electrolyte and a gas formed during electrolysis due to a difference between density of the electrolyte and the combined density of the electrolyte and the gas such that the gas substantially flows in a direction distal to the second electrode.
