Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrode includes a metal porous-body sheet formed of a metal porous body having a skeleton, the skeleton having a three-dimensional network structure, and a metallic support body having a plate shape and disposed on one main surface of the metal porous-body sheet. The one main surface has a plurality of machined holes each formed perpendicularly to the one main surface, and at least some of the plurality of machined holes are disposed at equal intervals. The metallic support body has a plurality of through holes extending through two surfaces of the metallic support body, and at least some of the plurality of through holes are disposed at equal intervals. A center of each of the some of the plurality of machined holes and a center of each of the some of the plurality of through holes are shifted from each other in one direction in plan view.

1 . An electrode comprising: a metal porous-body sheet formed of a metal porous body having a skeleton, the skeleton having a three-dimensional network structure; and a metallic support body having a plate shape and disposed on one main surface of the metal porous-body sheet, wherein the one main surface has a plurality of machined holes each formed perpendicularly to the one main surface, and at least some of the plurality of machined holes are disposed at equal intervals, wherein the metallic support body has a plurality of through holes extending through two surfaces of the metallic support body, and at least some of the plurality of through holes are disposed at equal intervals, and wherein the metal porous-body sheet and the metallic support body are disposed such that a center of each of the some of the plurality of machined holes and a center of each of the some of the plurality of through holes are shifted from each other in one direction in plan view. 2 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum diameter of the plurality of machined holes is 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm. 3 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein a number of the plurality of machined holes is ⅓ times to 4 times a number of the plurality of through holes. 4 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of machined holes extend through two surfaces of the metal porous-body sheet. 5 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the metal porous-body sheet and the metallic support body are disposed such that a center of each of all of the plurality of machined holes and a center of each of all of the plurality of through holes are shifted from each other in one direction in plan view. 6 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture ratio of the metal porous-body sheet is 5% to 35%. 7 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic support body is made of an expand metal or a punching metal. 8 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the metal porous-body sheet is made of nickel or a nickel alloy. 9 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the metallic support body is made of nickel or a nickel alloy. 10 . A water electrolysis apparatus comprising: the electrode according to claim 1 . 11 . The water electrolysis apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the metal porous-body sheet and the metallic support body are disposed such that a center of each of the some of the plurality of machined holes is positioned above a center of each of the some of the plurality of through holes in a direction of gravity.
