Abstract:
1. A monopolar membrane-electrode assembly, comprising: an electrolyte membrane having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, a plurality of cell regions, and at least one opening associated with each cell region; a plurality of anode current collecting bodies formed at the cell regions on the first surface of the electrolyte membrane, a plurality of cathode current collecting bodies formed at the cell regions on the second surface of the electrolyte membrane, each current collecting body including a current collector collecting the currents on the cell regions, and a conductor connected to a side of the current collector, respective ends of the conductors of corresponding anode and cathode current collecting bodies being connected through the corresponding openings in series; a plurality of anodes formed on the surface of the anode current collecting bodies opposite the electrolyte membrane; and a plurality of cathodes formed on the surface of the cathode current collecting bodies opposite the electrolyte membrane.
