Process for fabricating electrolytic cell having an intermdiate sub-component connecting layer and process

A process for fabricating an electrolytic cell comprising the steps of:

• fabricating a first electrolytic sub-component with a first electrolyte;
• fabricating a second electrolytic sub-component with a second electrolyte;
• applying an intermediate sub-component connecting layer, comprising an at most partially cured electrolyte, on to one of the first and second electrolytes of the first and second electrolytic sub-components, respectively;
• attaching the other of the first and second electrolytic sub-components to the intermediate sub-component connecting layer so that at least a portion of the intermediate sub-component connecting layer is sandwiched between the first and second electrolytes;
• orientating the electrolytic cell into a desired configuration while enabling relative sliding between the first and second electrolytic sub-components so as to facilitate operative alignment therebetween;
• and
• fully curing the intermediate sub-component connecting layer after the desired configuration and alignment have been obtained to, in turn, maintain the electrolytic cell in the desired configuration after such full curing.
