PCT No. PCT/DE92/00499 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 18, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 18, 1994 PCT Filed Jun. 12, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/22681 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 23, 1992.An electrolysis cell for gas-emitting or gas dissipating electrolytic processes using at least one electrode having a capillary structure in its edge region (51, 52) on the reaction side such that the gas (6) and electrolyte (L) are substantially conveyed there transversely to the electrode and in which there is a capillary slit adjoining this edge region which offers substantially less resistance to the conveyance of the gas and electrolyte along the vertical electrode plane than the edge region. The preferred embodiment are a plurality of foil-like (44), mutually supported, shaped electrode components. The process of the invention for running the electrolysis cell makes full use of its ejector effect, i.e. it supplies itself with electrolyte when the level of electrolyte in the cell is greatly reduced.
