電極を用いた発電装置の内部抵抗の増大がなくなる。Effect: According to this configuration, even if carbon dioxide is dissolved in the electrolyte and carbonate ions are generated, the cation exchanger that is in contact with the surface of the positive electrode that comes into contact with the electrolyte adsorbs the carbonate ions.
Carbonate generation is significantly reduced compared to conventional methods. As a result, there is no increase in the electrical resistance of the oxygen depolarizing electrode or increase in the internal resistance of the power generator using the oxygen depolarizing electrode.
