The invention provides a TiB2-C
composite cathode for
aluminum electrolysis and a preparation method thereof. The TiB2-C
composite cathode comprises a full-
graphite carbon block or a graphitized
cathode carbon block for
aluminum electrolysis, wherein holes are formed in a conductive face of the carbon block, and TiB2-C
composite cathode materials are arranged in the holes. A plurality of TiB2-C composite materials penetrating through the interior of a base body have good
wetting properties with aluminum liquid, then, during
electrolysis, aluminum liquid films are firstly formed at conductive poles of the wettable TiB2-C
composite material, then, a continuous aluminum liquid film face is formed by a plurality of points, a whole
cathode conductive face is covered, and then, a layer of uniform and firm aluminum liquid film is formed on a whole
cathode surface, so that the problem of the
wetting of the aluminum liquid and a
cathode material is solved thoroughly, the condition that an
inert wettable cathode can have a stable
cathodic reaction interface in various novel
aluminum electrolysis tanks is ensured, the real
wetting of the aluminum liquid and the cathode is realized, conditions for realizing the low-polar-distance production of aluminum
electrolysis are provided, and meanwhile, the problems that a TiB2
composite coating cathode is short in
technical service life and easy in falling off are solved.
