Preparation and performance of RuO2-IrO2-TiO2/NbOx-TiO2/Ti composite anode
Intermediate layer solutions were prepared with Ti/Nb mass ratios of 100,75,50,25 and 10,and active layer solutions were prepared with an atomic ratio of Ir∶Ru∶Ti=1∶3∶3.Titanium based niobium-titanium intermediate layer coated electrodes were prepared using thermal decomposition method.The modification performance of the electrodes under acidic oxygen evolution conditions was studied,and their failure mechanism was analyzed.The phase and morphology changes of the electrodes before and after failure were analyzed using X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS)analysis.The performance of RuO2-IrO2-TiO2/NbOx-TiO2/Ti electrodes in acidic systems was studied by enhanced electrochemical lifetime experiments and electrochemical analysis.The results show that in acidic systems,electrode failure is mainly caused by the dissolution and detachment of the active layer,as well as the formation of non-conductive titanium oxide on the electrode surface.The coating electrode with a niobium-titanium ratio of 1∶10 in the intermediate layer has a better lifespan,and its lifespan is significantly improved compared to the anode without doping the intermediate layer,but the voltage increases.Taking into account energy consumption and service time,an electrode with a niobium-titanium ratio of 1∶25 in the intermediate layer is more suitable for practical production needs.
