Method for producing a gas diffusion electrode and gas diffusion electrode

1. A method for producing an element for a gas diffusion electrode, the method comprising:

providing a raw electrode layer comprising an electrically non-conducting web;

adapting a thickness of the raw electrode layer;

feeding the raw electrode layer vertically; and

applying a non-solvent to the raw electrode layer during the vertical feeding.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically non-conducting web comprises an organic polymer.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the electrically non-conducting web is less than 149 micrometers.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the raw electrode layer comprises particles of an electrode material suspended in a binder.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein applying a non-solvent to the raw electrode layer comprises applying a first non-solvent in a closed volume steam and/or spraying the first non-solvent on a surface of the raw-electrode layer.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein applying a non-solvent to the raw electrode layer comprises applying a second non-solvent in a non-solvent bath.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing a raw electrode layer comprises:

providing a first raw electrode layer and a second raw electrode layer; and

pressing together the first raw electrode layer and the second raw electrode layer.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the first raw electrode layer and the second raw electrode layer each comprise an electrically non-conducting web.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising placing a physical barrier in front of a surface of the raw electrode layer before applying the non-solvent to the raw electrode layer.

10. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising controlling a distance between the physical barrier and the surface of the raw electrode layer.
