Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
In an electrolytic cell divided into two electrolyte compartments by a permionic membrane, said electrolytic cell having an electrode pair of anodic electrocatalyst in contact with one surface of the permionic membrane and cathodic electrocatalyst in contact with the opposite surface thereof, the improvement wherein at least one member of said electrode pair comprises electrocatalyst particles adherent to the permionic membrane, said electrocatalyst particles being rendered adherent to the permionic membrane when a surface of the permionic membrane is in a thermoplastic form chosen from the group consisting of low alkyl esters of carboxylic acid resins, acid halides of carboxylic acid resins, and acid halides of sulfonic acid resins.
