Example 1

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present utility model provides an activated water generator including an electrode assembly, a water supply part 3, and a power source. The electrode assembly is connected to a power source. The water supply part 3 serves to take water or air 7 of high relative humidity from an external water source or the surrounding environment, and to supply the water or air 7 of high relative humidity to the electrode assembly. The water supply part 3 is provided at an outer region of the electrode assembly and/or an inner region of the electrode assembly.

The electrode assembly includes a working electrode 1 and a counter electrode 2, the working electrode 1 and the counter electrode 2 being disposed opposite to each other. The region between the working electrode 1 and the counter electrode 2 is the inner region of the electrode assembly, and the remaining region is the outer region of the electrode assembly. In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the water supply part 3 is provided between the working electrode 1 and the counter electrode 2, that is, in an inner region of the electrode assembly.

The presence of water or air 7 of high relative humidity places the working electrode 1 and the counter electrode 2 in electrical communication, thereby generating an electrocatalytic reaction current. The electrocatalytic reaction occurs to produce activated water.

When the amount of water or the humidity of air between the working electrode 1 and the counter electrode 2 is sufficient, the electrocatalytic reaction occurs automatically.
