[0064] It can be understood that the first recess 301 corresponds to the position of the second recess 501, the first recess 301 is used to accommodate the first boss 101, the first liquid chamber 302 is used to accommodate the cathode side electrolyte, the second recess 501 is used to accommodate the second boss 701, and the second liquid chamber 502 is used to accommodate the anode side electrolyte.

[0065] In order to optimize the above technical solution, the gas inlet 104 of the cathode gas pool 100 and the gas outlet 105 of the cathode gas pool 100 are arranged on the opposite two sides of the cathode gas pool 100 and are in communication with the first gas chamber 102.

[0066] The reference electrode is inserted into the reference electrode port 306. Due to the boss design of the cathode gas pool 100, the reference electrode tip in the solution is directly close to the working electrode 200, so that the distance between the reference electrode and the working electrode 200 is very close, which can effectively reduce the solution liquid junction resistance voltage drop loss and effectively reduce the liquid junction resistance error.
[0067] In order to optimize the above technical solution, the inside of the cathode liquid pool 300 and the anode liquid pool 500 is further provided with an internal channel, the internal channel is in communication with the first liquid chamber 302 and the second liquid chamber 502, and the internal channel is used for passing liquid. Specifically, the first liquid outlet 304 of the cathode liquid pool 300 is in communication with the first liquid chamber 302 through the first internal channel 800. The first liquid inlet 305 of the cathode liquid pool 300 is in communication with the first liquid chamber 302 through the second internal channel 801.

[0068] To optimize the above technical solutions, the internal channels have a gradually converging structure, which can effectively prevent the accumulation of gas generated during the reaction in the corners to form dead space and interfere with the measurement results. Specifically, the cross section of the first internal channel 800 gradually decreases from the first liquid chamber 302 to the first liquid outlet 304 of the cathode liquid pool 300, and / or the cross section of the second internal channel 801 gradually decreases from the first liquid chamber 302 to the first liquid inlet 305 of the cathode liquid pool 300, and / or the cross section of the third internal channel 802 gradually decreases from the second liquid chamber 502 to the second liquid outlet 504 of the anode liquid pool 500, and / or the cross section of the fourth internal channel 803 gradually decreases from the second liquid chamber 502 to the second liquid inlet 505 of the anode liquid pool 500.
[0069] Further, in the above cross section, the maximum cross section of the first internal channel 800 is less than or equal to the cross section of the first liquid chamber 302, and the minimum cross section of the first internal channel 800 is greater than or equal to the cross section of the first liquid outlet 304 of the cathode liquid pool 300, and / or the maximum cross section of the second internal channel 801 is less than or equal to the cross section of the first liquid chamber 302, and the minimum cross section of the second internal channel 801 is greater than or equal to the cross section of the first liquid inlet 305 of the cathode liquid pool 300, and / or the maximum cross section of the third internal channel 802 is less than or equal to the cross section of the second liquid chamber 502, and the minimum cross section of the third internal channel 802 is greater than or equal to the cross section of the second liquid outlet 504 of the anode liquid pool 500, and / or the maximum cross section of the fourth internal channel 803 is less than or equal to the cross section of the second liquid chamber 502, and the minimum cross section of the fourth internal channel 803 is greater than or equal to the cross section of the second liquid inlet 505 of the anode liquid pool 500.
[0070] Further, to reduce the internal space of the cathode liquid pool 300 and / or the anode liquid pool 500 occupied by the internal channels, part of the cross section of the internal channels is designed as a trapezoidal shape, and the upper base of the trapezoidal shape is extended to the first liquid outlet 304, and / or the first liquid inlet 305, and / or the second liquid outlet 504, and / or the second liquid inlet 505, and the lower base of the trapezoidal shape is connected to the cathode liquid pool 300 and / or the anode liquid pool 500.
[0071] To optimize the above technical solutions, the cathode gas pool 100 is further provided with a first through hole 103, which penetrates the end face of the cathode gas pool 100 away from the cathode liquid pool 300 and the raised surface of the first boss 101, and the anode end cover 700 is further provided with a second through hole 703, which penetrates the end face of the anode end cover 700 away from the anode liquid pool 500 and the raised surface of the second boss 701. One end of the first through hole 103 is in contact with the working electrode 200 for forming a working electrode 200 wiring, and one end of the second through hole 703 is in contact with the counter electrode for forming a counter electrode 600 wiring.
[0072] In order to optimize the above technical solutions, the first metal wire and the second metal wire are further included, the first metal wire is in contact with the working electrode 200 through the first through hole 103 to form a working electrode wire, and the second metal wire is in contact with the counter electrode 600 through the second through hole 703 to form a counter electrode 600 wire. After the first metal wire is inserted into the first through hole 103, the first metal wire is sealed with glue, and after the second metal wire is inserted into the second through hole 703, the second metal wire is sealed with glue.
[0073] It can be understood that the first through hole 103 is a pair of small size through holes, the first metal wire is two independent metal wires, and the first metal wire is in contact with the working electrode 200 and is in conductive connection with each other. On the outside of the cathode gas pool 100, the first metal wire can be measured by connecting the first metal wire through the resistance scale of the multimeter, so as to determine whether the first metal wire forms good electrical contact with the working electrode 200. Similarly, the second through hole 703 is a pair of small size through holes, the second metal wire is two independent metal wires, and the second metal wire is in contact with the counter electrode 600 and is in conductive connection with each other. On the outside of the anode end cover 700, the second metal wire can be measured by connecting the second metal wire through the resistance scale of the multimeter, so as to determine whether the second metal wire forms good electrical contact with the counter electrode 600. In the working process of the gas diffusion type flow electrolysis cell device, there is a possibility of potential electrical contact separation, and the design of the two metal wires can better determine whether electrical contact separation occurs. In addition, the first metal wire and the second metal wire can cooperate with the multimeter to test the contact conductivity with the outside world, and also avoid the generation of poor contact of the gas diffusion type flow electrolysis cell device, improve the safety, and effectively reduce the liquid resistance error.
[0074] In order to optimize the above technical solutions, the cathode gas pool 100, the cathode liquid pool 300, the anode end cover 700 and the anode liquid pool 500 are connected by bolts. Specifically, the cathode gas pool 100 and the cathode liquid pool 300 are connected together by the first bolt 900; and / or, the anode end cover 700 and the anode liquid pool 500 are connected together by the second bolt 901; and / or, the cathode liquid pool 300 and the anode liquid pool 500 are connected together by the third bolt 902. The bolt connection design of the cathode gas pool 100, the cathode liquid pool 300, the anode end cover 700 and the anode liquid pool 500 can make it only disassemble a single side electrode or only replace the proton exchange membrane 400 when replacing the test sample, so as to improve the working efficiency of the gas diffusion type flow electrolysis cell device. For example, the cathode gas pool 100 and the cathode liquid pool 300 are disassembled by disassembling the first bolt 900, the anode end cover 700 and the anode liquid pool 500 are disassembled by disassembling the second bolt 901, and the cathode liquid pool 300 and the anode liquid pool 500 are disassembled by disassembling the third bolt 902.
[0075] Further, the cathode gas pool 100 and the cathode liquid pool 300 are arranged with first bolt holes matched with the first bolt 900, the anode end cover 700 and the anode liquid pool 500 are arranged with second bolt holes matched with the second bolt 901, and the cathode liquid pool 300 and the anode liquid pool 500 are arranged with third bolt holes matched with the third bolt 902. The first bolt holes, the second bolt holes and the third bolt holes are uniformly distributed.
[0076] In order to optimize the above technical solution, the first bolt 900 is an external hexagonal bolt, and the corresponding first bolt hole is a through hole with a hexagonal countersunk head structure, used for accommodating the external hexagonal bolt and preventing the external hexagonal bolt from rotating, and the first bolt 900 is matched with the first bolt hole to fasten the cathode gas pool 100 and the cathode liquid pool 300. The second bolt 901 is an external hexagonal bolt, and the corresponding second bolt hole is a through hole with a hexagonal countersunk head structure, used for accommodating the external hexagonal bolt and preventing the external hexagonal bolt from rotating, and the second bolt 901 is matched with the second bolt hole to fasten the anode end cover 700 and the anode liquid pool 500.
[0077] In order to optimize the above technical solution, a first groove 1011 is annularly arranged outside the protruding part of the first boss 101, a second groove 303 is annularly arranged on the end face of the cathode liquid pool 300 close to the anode liquid pool 500 and corresponding to the first liquid chamber 302, a third groove 503 is annularly arranged on the end face of the anode liquid pool 500 close to the cathode liquid pool 300 and corresponding to the second liquid chamber 502, and a fourth groove 7011 is annularly arranged outside the protruding part of the second boss 701. The first groove 1011, the second groove 303, the third groove 503 and the fourth groove 7011 are used for placing sealing O-rings, and the sealing O-rings are used for clamping the working electrode 200, the proton exchange membrane 400 and the counter electrode 600. The sealing method using the sealing O-rings can make the compression degree of the cathode liquid pool 300 and the anode liquid pool 500 consistent, and can effectively avoid the problem of liquid leakage or gas leakage when the ion exchange membrane 400 is used alone. In addition, in the prior art, there is a method of face sealing using a rubber pad. When the rubber pad is used for face sealing, as the rubber pad is compressed, the rubber pad will be extruded to form many small pore diameters, reducing the sealing effect. Therefore, the use of the sealing O-rings for linear sealing can avoid the above situation, and the sealing effect of the sealing O-rings is better than that of the rubber pad.
[0078] In order to optimize the above technical solutions, the first boss 101 and the first recess 301 are in a rectangular structure, and / or the second boss 701 and the second recess 501 are in a rectangular structure.
