Multiple 1st recesses 40 are formed at the 1st surface 21a of base material 21, and are open in the 1st surface 21a.In addition, multiple 2 Recess 42 is formed in the 2nd surface 21b, and is open in the 2nd surface 21b.Opened as the 1st recess 40 of Porous barrier film 24 side Mouth diameter R1 is less than the opening diameter R2 of second recesses 42.In addition, the quantity on recess, more preferably compared with second recesses 42 Ground forms the 1st recess 40.The depth of 1st recess 40 is T2, and the depth of second recesses 42 is T3, the shape in a manner of T2+T3=T1 Into.In addition, in embodiments, such as with T2<T3 mode is formed.In figure, form the 1st recess 40 and connect with second recesses 42 The through hole connect, but can also be not connected recess or the recess partly connected.Base material 21 is same base material, no It is that different substrate materials are subjected to part welding etc. and the electrode being laminated.In the case where different substrate materials are laminated, hypochlorous acid holds Base material contact surface is easily stayed in, formation efficiency reduces.Also, current convergence easily occurs in junction, easily causes catalysis Agent deteriorates.
It is less than the opening diameter R2 of second recesses 42 as the opening diameter R1 of the 1st recess 40 of the side of Porous barrier film 24.Close In the quantity of recess, the 1st recess 40 is more formed preferably compared with second recesses 42.For Porous barrier film by recess Stress is relaxed caused by end, the life of Porous barrier film.Further, since the quantity of second recesses can be reduced, Resistance thus can be reduced, the replacement, machinery for distribution keep also favourable.
At least one of the 1st electrode 20 and the 2nd electrode 22 used in the electrolysis unit 10 of embodiment have rule Fixed multiple through holes.
The schematic diagram of one of the electrode for the 1st electrode 20 that can be used as Fig. 1 is illustrated that in Fig. 2A, Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C.
Fig. 2A is the figure of the 1st electrode 20 from the 2nd surface 21b.

Fig. 2 C are the figures for schematically showing the cut surface at Fig. 2A line A-A.
Fig. 2 D are the figures for illustrating the radius of curvature of the edge part of the 1st recess.
In figure, through hole is connected to the 1st recess 40 and second recesses 42.
As illustrated, the defined multiple through holes being arranged in the 1st electrode 20 are rhombus of the corner for circle.Opening can To be measured using light microscope.In this case, it is circular that the shape of the 1st recess 40, which is also corner in the same manner as through hole, Rhombus.Recess cross section can be the internal taper to narrow or curve-like.
Fig. 2 D show the figure for amplifying the edge part 48 of Fig. 2 C the 1st recess, and C1 is the radius of curvature of edge part 48.
As shown in Figure 2 C and 2 D shown in FIG., in embodiment, on the edge part 48 after the removing catalyst of the 1st recess, by it Radius of curvature is defined as more than 0.01mm.
Thus, there is following effect.First, the current convergence of edge part is relaxed, and the stripping of catalyst reduces, can Prevent voltage from rising, while the deterioration of the Porous barrier film near electrode is lowered.In addition, also easily formed uniformly in edge part Catalyst.In addition, in the case of for negative electrode, the embrittlement caused by caused hydrogen can also be relaxed.It is further, it is also possible to slow Rupture of abrasion or Porous barrier film with electrode caused by the Mechanical Contact of electrode and Porous barrier film etc..Especially it is possible to The deterioration for relaxing in the operation start that hydraulic pressure easily changes and occurring when stopping.
If radius of curvature is less than 0.01mm, the effect above is insufficient.Radius of curvature is preferably more than 0.02mm.Further Preferably more than 0.04mm.If but be more than 2mm, become too small tendency with through hole.In addition, the curvature of catalyst layer Radius is preferably also more than 0.01mm.If being less than 0.01mm, there is the tendency for the lost of life for making barrier film because of current convergence. The thickness of catalyst layer is preferably 0.1 μm~12 μm.If it is thinner than 0.1 μm, the lost of life.If being thicker than 12 μm, unit catalysis The efficiency of dosage reduces, cost rise.More preferably more than 0.4 μm and less than 8 μm, more preferably more than 1 μm and 4 μm with Under.
1st recess can be made in the entire surface on the 1st surface.In this case, exist non-through to the of the 2nd surface 1 recess.The 1st non-through recess is because the holding of chloride ion is excellent, thus in the low condition of chloride ion concentration, example Such as be held in the chloride of medial compartment 19 concentration is low or the pressure of medial compartment 19 less than the pressure of anode chamber 16 situation Under, hypochlorous formation efficiency can be improved or reduce driving voltage, thus be effective.
As shown in Figure 2 B, the opening of the through hole used in embodiment is on the basis of the section at sectional area minimum.
As the shape of second recesses 42, the rhombus for accommodating multiple 1st recesses 40 can be used.
Or the other shapes for accommodating multiple 1st recesses 40 can be used.When the summit of taper or curve is circular, water The flowing of stream is smooth, and can prevent current convergence, is preferably more than 0.01mm as curvature.
As shown in Figure 2 A, multiple 1st recesses 40 mutually have roughly the same size, still, by from forming through hole The opening of 1st recess 40 centrally through minimum opening diameter be formed on electrode base board.In these multiple through holes, The aperture opening ratio of the through hole of the central part positioned at electrode base board and opening for the through hole of the periphery positioned at electrode base board can be made Mouth rate is different.If the aperture opening ratio positioned at the through hole of central part is less than periphery, the resistance of central part diminishes, for central part Electric current supply become easy.On the other hand, if the aperture opening ratio positioned at the through hole of central part is more than periphery, gas is easy Discharge.Aperture opening ratio on any one in increase central part and periphery, it may be considered that operating condition or with other parts Relation selects.
