Abstract
(en) The present invention relates to a system (I) for water electrolysis, for production of hydrogen and oxygen, comprising: at least one unit cell having at least two compartments (3), each compartment (3) being configured to have an electrolyte solution flowing through the compartment (3), from at least one inlet port to at least one outlet port of the system (I), at least two being gas­producing porous electrodes, which are at least one anode (4A) and at least one cathode (4C), located each in one compartment (3); at least one electrode being tridimensional; at least one hydraulic circuit (5), means for ensuring a forced electrolytic solution flow in each compartment (3), and means for applying a DC bias voltage to said electrodes.
