In the current situation where only the periphery of the gas diffusion electrode is fixed to the electrolytic cell frame, the current collection of the gas diffusion electrode takes a long distance from the periphery mainly through the current collection network inside the gas diffusion electrode. It is performed in the plane direction. As a result, the current collecting resistance becomes large, the voltage loss becomes large due to the resistance loss, and the performance is reduced. There has been a demand for a current collecting method for minimizing voltage loss originating from a resistance component in the thickness direction of a gas diffusion electrode in a thickness direction having a short distance. Further, there has been a demand for a structure in which the gas diffusion electrode does not swell and is not broken even when the gas pressure is higher than the liquid pressure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The technical features of the gas diffusion electrode integrated with a gas chamber of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings for describing the embodiments, components having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated. In the present invention, as the metal plate with a large number of concave and convex grooves, those having various structures can be used, but most typically, when a metal plate of a square wave type is used in the horizontal direction, It can be used as a metal plate having a large number of uneven grooves. It is better that the wave shape is fine, and it is preferable that the protrusion of the wave shape is flat in connection with the gas diffusion electrode. A metal plate having such a structure can be easily obtained by press molding or the like. Further, a metal plate having a number of parallel grooves on the upper surface of the metal plate may be used, and this is easily obtained by cutting the metal plate. In addition to the parallel shape of the groove, the groove may be largely bent to increase the gas flow rate. Further, the depth of the groove of the metal plate is about 0.5 mm to 1 mm, and it is sufficient that the groove is large enough to supply the gas. The thickness of the gas diffusion electrode integrated with the gas chamber is preferably reduced. Also,
The smaller the groove width is about 0.5 mm to 1 mm, the larger the area of the convex portion and the larger the bonding area with the gas diffusion electrode, but the larger the groove, the smaller the exposed surface of the gas supply layer of the gas diffusion electrode. , It is necessary to consider the balance.

As a result, the silver material portion and the gas diffusion electrode are firmly joined. By utilizing this effect, the metal plate 6 having the groove 7 (gas chamber 5) serving as a gas passage as a concave portion and the metal plate 6 having a silver surface as a convex portion and the gas diffusion electrode 2 are hot pressed under the above conditions. The first gas supply layer 4 and the silver material 8 are firmly joined. Since the uneven portions have a pitch of about 1 mm, current collection can be performed at the shortest distance as shown in the figure, and even if there is a difference between the liquid pressure and the gas pressure, the electrodes are not deformed and the electrodes are not broken. The gas is supplied from the gas chamber 5 to the reaction layer 3 of the gas diffusion electrode 2 through the gas supply layer 4 as shown. Further, at the time of hot pressing, a deformation preventing material 10 is used as shown in the figure, whereby a strong bonding surface 9 is formed.
