Seawater can be used as an electrolyte for Cl 2 evolution, and proper selection of electrode materials is of great importance. In this paper, a new type of dimensionally stable anodes, Ti/RuO 2 -IrO 2 -Sb 2 O 5 -SnO 2 , was investigated for Cl 2 evolution from seawater. The physicochemical and electrochemical properties were examined, and the electrocatalytic activity for Cl 2 evolution was measured under different conditions. It was shown that the RuO 2 -IrO 2 -Sb 2 O 5 -SnO 2 coating was compact in microstructure. The current efficiency was 71.2-86.7%, depending on the operational conditions. The anodes were predicted to be able to work effectively for over 6 years at a current density of 1500 A m −2 for seawater electrolysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
