Claims10
A towel, comprising:
- (a) at least a first electrode layer covered by a cloth suitable to reduce mechanical abrasion;
- (b) at least a second electrode layer;
- (c) an electrically insulating layer disposed in between said first electrode layer and said second electrode layer;
- at least one of said first electrode layer, said electrically insulating layer, and said second electrode layer being adapted to absorb a liquid;
- (d) connectors to facilitate connection of said first electrode layer and said second electrode layer to a power supply;
- and
- (e) an electrochemical capacitance ratio (Rec) of said at least a first electrode layer to said at least a second electrode layer of at least 7:1.

An asymmetric electrochemical cell comprising:
- (a) at least a first electrode layer;
- (b) at least a second electrode layer;
- (c) an electrochemical capacitance ratio (Rec) of the first electrode layer to the second electrode layer of at least 3:1;
- (d) a housing adapted to contain the first and the second electrodes such that they are immersed in an aqueous solution during use;
- (e) a processor;
- and
- (f) a power supply;
- wherein the electrodes are connected to the opposite poles of the power supply, and wherein the processor and the power supply are adapted to apply a first electric current between said first and said second electrodes layers during a first mode and a second electric current during a second mode, suitable to produce hypohalous acid from a solution containing alkali metal cations and halogen anions.
