2. Description of the Related Art First, an outline of the function and structure of a gas diffusion electrode will be described using a gas diffusion electrode (oxygen cathode) used as a cathode when an aqueous sodium chloride solution is electrolyzed by an ion exchange membrane method. Usually, ion exchange membrane method electrolysis is performed in an electrolytic cell partitioned into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber by an ion exchange membrane which is a cation exchange membrane, and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride is placed in an anode chamber having an anode of this electrolytic cell. A cathodic compartment having a cathode contains an aqueous solution of caustic soda. One type of this electrolytic cell uses an oxygen cathode as a cathode. In this type of electrolytic cell, an electrolytic solution chamber having an oxygen cathode and containing a caustic soda aqueous solution and a gas supply for supplying an oxygen-containing gas to the oxygen cathode are provided. It has a cathode compartment with a compartment. When electricity is applied between the two electrodes of the electrolytic cell and electrolysis is performed, the electrolysis is performed using an oxygen cathode (a material is made of a porous body and an oxygen-containing gas is supplied from a gas supply chamber). Since the oxygen reduction reaction occurs and the cathode potential decreases, there is an advantage that the electrolysis voltage is significantly reduced.

[0003] The oxygen cathode is composed of a thin layer mainly composed of a porous conductor, the oxygen-containing gas side is hydrophobic, the electrolyte side is hydrophilic, and has air permeability as a whole. The electrolyte can penetrate the electrode. A current collector made of a wire mesh or the like made of a conductor is provided inside the side surface of the electrode in contact with the electrolyte (aqueous sodium hydroxide solution), and carries a catalyst. Activated carbon is usually used for the porous conductor, and the catalyst (made of a noble metal such as platinum) is supported in the fine pores. The oxygen-containing gas supply side surface is formed of a water-repellent porous thin layer in which no leakage of the electrolyte occurs.
The water-repellent porous thin layer is usually formed mainly of fine particles of a fluororesin-based polymer having resistance to a redox reaction.

[0004] The porous thin layer having catalytic activity is formed of hydrophilic carbon, water-repellent carbon, and water-repellent carbon so as to gradually change from a hydrophilic surface in contact with the electrolyte to a water-repellent porous thin layer.
Fluororesin fine particles are mixed and molded and integrated.
Therefore, the porous oxygen cathode can efficiently supply the oxygen-containing gas from the oxygen-containing gas supply side to the side in contact with the electrolyte, and the electrolyte easily permeates and diffuses into the electrode from the side in contact with the electrolyte. I do. Thus, in the oxygen cathode, the water is oxidized to hydroxyl groups in the presence of the sodium ion and the catalyst supplied from the side in contact with the electrolyte, and caustic soda is generated. Also, hydrogen previously generated at the cathode in the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride is not generated when an oxygen cathode is used, so that the electrolysis voltage can be reduced. The above is the outline of the function and structure of the oxygen cathode using salt electrolysis as an example, and the function and structure of a general gas diffusion electrode are similar to those described above.

In the conventional gas diffusion electrode, the side in contact with the liquid portion has a lyophilic layer having fine pores through which liquid can penetrate, and the side in contact with the gas portion has fine particles through which gas can penetrate without leaking liquid. A water-repellent layer having fine holes is formed by laminating them through a current collector made of a wire mesh or the like. In recent years, the change from the lyophilic layer to the water-repellent layer of a porous thin layer having catalytic activity has fine pores that can penetrate the liquid in contact with the liquid part so that it changes stepwise, preferably continuously.

However, the method of manufacturing a gas diffusion electrode for changing the porous thin layer from lyophilic to water-repellent in a stepwise or continuous manner involves the use of a reaction layer raw material or a gas diffusion layer raw material. Each of them is dispersed in an aqueous solution, filtered, dried, formed into a rice cake with a solvent naphtha, and then formed into a plate with a roll and placed in a metal jig together with a metal net of a current collector. Insert the metal net of the current collector between the two plate-like bodies into a jig, and put it together with the jig at 380 ° C and 600 kg.
This is a method in which a gas diffusion electrode is formed by hot pressing under conditions such as about 3 seconds / cm 2 . By the way, this method of manufacturing a gas diffusion electrode requires complicated steps, poor workability, and lacks mass productivity. In addition, since a jig is used, it is difficult to increase the size, and continuous production cannot be performed by hot pressing, so that the productivity is low. Furthermore, since the metal net of the current collector has a small contact area with the electrode material, the current collection efficiency is poor and the electrolytic performance is insufficient.

The method for manufacturing a gas diffusion electrode according to the present invention includes:
Since it is a method of filling the pores of the metal porous body with the catalyst having the electrocatalytic action and the slurry from the electrode material so as not to dry, the slurry is uniformly filled in the metal porous body and the gas diffusion of the required thickness is performed. An electrode layer is formed. Moreover, the workability is good in a simple process, suitable for mass production, and it is possible to continuously and efficiently manufacture a large gas diffusion electrode. The gist of the present invention is to laminate multiple layers of electrode materials having different compositions, such as a lyophilic layer in contact with the liquid part and a water-repellent layer in contact with the gas part, as in the conventional electrode structure of a gas diffusion electrode. Does not require a complicated process. In addition, it exhibits excellent functions as a gas diffusion electrode. It is suitable for mass production with a simple process, and a large gas diffusion electrode can be manufactured. This is an extremely excellent manufacturing method. In the present invention, it is important that the slurry is directly filled in the porous metal body. If the slurry is dried before filling, the powdery polytetrafluoroethylene in the slurry becomes fibrillated and cannot be filled in the porous metal body.
