Device and method for carbon dioxide electrolysis or carbon monoxide electrolysis

Abstract

An anode-side half cell for an electrochemical cell of an electrolytic apparatus for carbon dioxide electrolysis and/or carbon monoxide electrolysis, having a separator in the form of a diaphragm, which has an anode-side separator surface and a cathode-side separator surface opposite the anode-side separator surface; a catalyst layer, which has a first catalyst surface and a second catalyst surface opposite the first catalyst surface, the first catalyst surface facing the anode-side separator surface; and a fluid-permeable anode plate, which has a first anode surface, the first anode surface facing the second catalyst surface.
