Monopolar electrolyzer electrical connection

A traditional, monopolar electrolyzer is built up by coupling tank units in series electrically L By contrast, a bipolar unit uses a metal sheet (or bipole ) to join adjacent cells, as depicted in Figure 4.5(b). The electrocatalyst for the negative electrode is coated on one face of the bipole and that for the positive electrode of the adjacent cell is on the reverse face. A series-connected stack of such cells forms a module that operates at a higher voltage and lower current...
