Embodiment 1

[0015] A series of 20 pieces of grade 1 titanium of dimensions 1000 x 500 x 0.89 mm were etched in 18 vol% HCl and degreased with acetone. The sheets were placed on individual trays in the conditioning chamber of the IBAD apparatus for continuous manufacturing, followed by depressurization to 130 Pa. The sheet is then fed continuously to the deposition chamber where it is -5 The dynamic vacuum of the plasma generated at a pressure of Pa is subjected to ion bombardment in two steps. In the first step, the flakes are subjected to argon ion bombardment at low energy (200-500eV), with the aim of cleaning possible residues from their surfaces; The bombardment with platinum ions aims to deposit a dense coating. At the completion of 0.3mg / cm 2 For Pt deposition, the sheet was transferred to the subsequent decompression chamber (maintained at 130 Pa). At the end of the processing of all chips, the decompression chamber was pressurized with ambient air before recycling the chips. ...

Embodiment 2

[0018] A series of 10 nickel sheets of size 1000 x 500 x 0.3 mm were blasted with corundum until an R slightly below 70 μm was obtained. z Roughness values, etched in 20% by volume HCl and degreased with acetone. Utilizing the same apparatus and bombardment in a second step with ruthenium ions extracted from the plasma phase at energies of 1000-2000 eV, by the IBAD method described in Example 1 with 0.1 mg / cm 2 A ruthenium film coats the wafer. After deposition, the flakes were extracted and subjected to a thermal post-treatment at 400 °C in air for 1 h, thereby oxidizing the coated ruthenium to RuO 2 . 1cm cut from some electrodes thus obtained 2 The samples were measured for hydrogen evolution potential under standard conditions, at 10kA / m 2 A current density of -968 mV / NHE was obtained in 32% by weight NaOH at a temperature of 90°C.

Embodiment 3

[0020] 20 m of coils of 500 mm wide and 0.36 mm thick nickel expanded mesh were thermally degreased and etched in 20 vol% HCl until a R of approximately 20 μm was obtained z Roughness value. Coils were loaded in the feed section of a magnetron plasma sputtering (MPS) device for continuous roll-to-roll deposition and subjected to 10 -3 Pa pressure. The device was operated at a line velocity of 0.2 cm / s. During the pass deposition part, pass through pure Ar (used between the substrate and the chamber wall at a nominal power of 200W at 5.10 -5Plasma generated under Pa, and the bias voltage is zero) sputtering to further clean the sheet, followed by reactive sputtering (200W, maintained at about 5.10 -1 20% Ar / O in dynamic vacuum of Pa 2 mixture and a deposition temperature of about 450°C) obtained RuO 2 layer to coat it. After deposition, the recovered part will be coated with 0.3 mg / cm corresponding to a thickness of 3 μm 2 RuO 2 The expanded metal is rolled back into co...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing of metal electrodes for electrolytic applications by means of a continuous deposition of a layer of noble metals upon metal substrates by a physical vapour deposition technique.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods of making catalytic electrodes for electrolytic applications. Background technique [0002] It is known in the prior art to use catalyst-coated electrodes in electrolytic applications: for example consisting of metal substrates (e.g. titanium, zirconium or other valve metals, nickel, stainless steel, copper or their alloys) equipped with coatings based on noble metals or their oxides. ) as a hydrogen evolution cathode in the electrolysis of water or alkali metal chlorides, as an oxygen evolution anode in various types of electrometallurgical processes, or again for alkali metal chlorides in the electrolysis of alkali metal chlorides. Electrodes of this type can be prepared thermally by suitable thermal treatment to decompose the precursor solution of the metal to be deposited, by galvanic electrodeposition from a suitable electrolytic bath, by flame or plasma spraying processes or by chemical or physical vapor d...
