Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a solid polymer electrolyte having anode means in contact with the anodic portion thereof, and cathode means in contact with the cathodic portion thereof. The anodic portion has higher cation selectivity than the cathodic portion, whereby to prevent migration to the anolyte of hydroxyl ion evolved in or on the membrane. Also disclosed are an electrolytic cell containing the solid polymer electrolyte, and an electrolytic process utilizing the solid polymer electrolyte.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
In a solid polymer electrolyte electrolytic cell having a solid polymer electrolyte comprising: a. a permionic membrane having an anodic portion and a cathodic portion; b. anodic means in contact with the anodic portion of the permionic membrane; and c. cathodic means in contact with the cathodic portion of the permionic membrane; the improvement wherein the anodic portion of the permionic membrane has a higher cation selectivity than the cathodic portion of the permionic membrane; the anodic portion of the permionic membrane comprises carboxylate groups and the cathodic portion comprises anion selective, basic material chosen from the group consisting of, R F --NH 2 , R F --NHR 1 , R F --NR 1 R 2 , R F --NR 1 R 2 R 3 , and the anodic portion comprises R F --COO - , where R F is the polymer chain, and R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, nitrogen, alkyl groups, and aryl groups.
