The efficiency for chloride oxidation and oxygen evolution processes was not only influenced by the chemical composition but also by the surface morphology of the oxide electrode which was susceptible to the ratio of the two components and the coating method. Ta2O5(50)-IrO2(50) electrodes revealed the highest catalytic activity for the chloride ion oxidation and oxygen evolution reaction because they had the largest effective surface area. The durability of the oxide electrodes in the accelerated life tests was improved as the thickness of the oxide layer increased and the ratio of [IrO2] to [Ta2O5] approached 80/20.展开更多

The structure and morphologies of the IrO2+Ta2O5 coatings were determined by XRD and SEM. Their electrochemical properties were studied by polarization curve and cyclic voltammetry. Trivalent chromium electroplating using Ti/IrO2+Ta2O5 anodes is carried out and the results were analyzed. Results show that this anode exhibits excellent electrochemical activity and stability in sulfate electrolysis. The electrocatalytic activity is determined not only by the content of IrO2 but also the structure and morphology of the anode coatings. The electroplating results indicats that Ti/IrO2+Ta2O5 anodes have excellent capabilities and merits in improving the stability of trivalent chromium electroplating in sulfate system.展开更多
