Problems solved by technology

However, the use of pure lead as the anode material has the following disadvantages: (1) the lead anode is soft, and it is prone to bending deformation during use, causing a short circuit; (2) the oxygen evolution overpotential is high and consumes a large amount of electric energy; During the process, the surface of lead will be oxidized to form lead dioxide, and in the tiny pores of lead dioxide, PbSO will be generated 4 Insulators, electrode resistance increases, and electrode life is shortened; (4) Anode corrosion products (lead ions) co-deposited at the cathode affect the purity of cathode products; then in the 1960s, a cheap and durable DSA (Dimensionally Stable Anode) born by application
However, considering the high cost of precious metals, small output, and limited reserves, it is more practical to develop non-noble metal oxide anodes; today, non-noble metal oxide electrodes mainly include titanium-based manganese dioxide, titanium-based lead dioxide, titanium-based Based on tin dioxide, titanium-based cobalt oxide and carbon-based oxide and other types, the main disadvantage of this type of anode is that during the electrolysis process, the oxygen released from the anode will passivate the titanium, resulting in an increase in electrode resistance and electrode failure.
Reported Ti / MO 2 In research, mostly Ti / MnO 2 and Ti / PbO 2 Anode, but there are obvious problems, mainly: (1) The formation of titanium dioxide insulating layer on the surface of titanium substrate reduces the conductivity
(2) The bonding force between the titanium substrate and the surface active layer is poor, causing the surface active layer to fall off, especially in highly corrosive acidic solutions

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The acid-resistant anode of the invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical engineering, and specifically relates to an electrode catalyst used in an electrolysis process and a preparation method thereof. 2. Background technology [0002] Because sulfuric acid solution has the advantages of high conductivity, stable properties and low price. Therefore, many electrochemical synthesis and other systems need to be carried out in sulfuric acid solution, such as non-ferrous metal smelting, chlor-alkali industry, organic electrosynthesis, etc. However, due to the strong corrosiveness of sulfuric acid solution and the strong oxidizing property of the nascent oxygen released from the anode, there is a shortage of anode materials suitable for industrial production. An ideal anode should have the characteristics of good electrical conductivity, high catalytic activity, long life, large surface area, low price, and low pollution. Therefore, t...
