Abstract

The present invention provides a method for generating oxygen. The method comprises (a) preparing a water electrolysis device comprising a container storing an electrolyte aqueous solution; an anode which is in contact with the electrolyte aqueous solution and includes at least one silver delafossite compound selected from the group consisting of a silver cobalt delafossite compound represented by a chemical formula AgCoO 2 and a silver rhodium delafossite compound represented by a chemical formula AgRhO 2 ; a cathode which is in contact with the electrolyte aqueous solution; and a power supply, wherein the at least one silver delafossite compound is in contact with the electrolyte aqueous solution, and (b) applying an electric potential difference between the cathode and the anode using the power supply to generate oxygen on the anode due to electrolysis of water which occurs on the at least one silver delafossite compound.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for generating oxygen and a water electrolysis device. The invention also relates to the anode used in the method. Background technique [0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a method for generating chlorine gas by electrolyzing sodium chloride using an anode whose surface has the chemical formula ABO 2 (where A represents platinum, palladium, silver, or cobalt, and B represents chromium, iron, cobalt, rhodium, aluminum, gadolinium, scandium, indium, thallium, lead, ruthenium, or lanthanides) (delafossite) compound. However, Patent Document 1 discloses nothing about a method of generating oxygen. [0003] prior art literature [0004] Patent Document 1: Specification of British Patent No. 1400948 Contents of the invention [0005] The theoretical voltage required for water electrolysis is 1.23 volts. However, due to the overvoltage of the electrodes, a voltage exceeding 1.23 volts is required in actual wa...
