Conduction plane solid electrolyte cells

With minor modifications, the setup can also be used with a solid working electrode, or for nonaqueous electrolyte solutions. H-cells with solid plane parallel electrodes of the same area are frequently utilized for work in anhydrous media, also since they provide a uniform current distribution. A small distance between the electrodes, not only for this cell design, makes them suitable for work in media of low electrical conductivity. The cell design can be used for electrolysis in liquid ammonia, if a connection between the anode and cathode compartment above the solution level is ensured, to equilibrate the pressure in the system [iii].
