The invention discloses a Ti / IrO2-SnO2-SbO2 gradient active
coating anode with low cost and high stability and a preparation process of the Ti / IrO2-SnO2-SbO2 gradient active
coating anode. The gradient active
coating is characterized in that the gradient active coating is composed of 3-5
layers, the
total thickness is 5-15 microns, the thickness of each layer is 1-5 microns, the
molar percentage content of
iridium in a bottom layer is 0-5%, the sum of the
molar percentage content of
tin and
antimony is 95-100%, the
molar percentage content of
iridium in a
surface layer is 10-20%, the sum of the molar percentage content of
tin and
antimony is 80-90%, and the thickness of each layer is 1-5 microns. The molar percentage content of
iridium from the bottom layer to the
surface layer is sequentially increased from 2% to 10%, the molar percentage content of
tin and
antimony is sequentially reduced from 2% to 10%, and the total iridium loading amount in the gradient active coating is 0.05-0.2 mg / cm < 2 >. The preparation method comprises the three steps of
titanium substrate pretreatment, precursor salt
alcohol solution preparation and gradient active coating preparation. By adopting a gradient coating mode, the thermal stress between the coating and the
titanium substrate in the preparation process is remarkably reduced, the consumption of
noble metal is reduced, the
oxygen evolution activity of the
anode is improved, and the service life of the anode is prolonged. The method is simple to operate and low in cost, and has remarkable industrialization advantages.
