Ru-Ir-Ti anode
Ru-Ir-Ti anode, composed of a mixed metal oxide coating of ruthenium oxide (RuO2) and iridium oxide (IrO2) on a titanium (Ti) substrate, represents a powerful synergy of properties for various electrochemical applications. This combination aims to capitalize on the individual strengths of RuO2 and IrO2 while mitigating their respective limitations.
Properties and Advantages
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Similar to Ru-Ti and Ir-Sn-Ti anodes, the presence of titanium oxide ensures outstanding resistance to corrosion even in harsh environments and under high current densities.
Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity: The combination of RuO2 and IrO2 provides a broader range of electrocatalytic activity compared to single-metal oxide anodes. This makes them effective for a wider variety of reactions, including oxygen evolution, chlorine evolution, and oxidation of various organic compounds.
Synergy and Selectivity: The interaction between RuO2 and IrO2 can lead to synergistic effects, enhancing the overall catalytic activity and selectivity for specific reactions compared to individual oxides.
Stability and Durability: Ru-Ir-Ti anodes demonstrate good stability over a wide potential range and are mechanically robust, ensuring long-term performance and durability.
Application Areas
Applications
Ru-Ir-Ti anodes find application in a wide range of electrochemical processes, including:
Water electrolysis: For hydrogen production, taking advantage of the high activity of both oxides for the oxygen evolution reaction.
Chlor-alkali industry: Production of chlorine and caustic soda, where the combined properties of RuO2 and IrO2 ensure efficient chlorine evolution and long-term stability.
Wastewater treatment: Effective for the oxidation of organic pollutants and disinfection processes.
Electrochemical synthesis: Utilized in the production of various organic and inorganic compounds, benefiting from the tunable selectivity and activity.
Metal electrowinning and electrorefining: Extracting and purifying metals from solutions, leveraging the stability and activity of the mixed oxide coating.
