Definitions
- the invention relates to a dimensionally stable gas diffusion electrode consisting of at least one electrically conductive catalyst support material for receiving the coating material containing catalyst material and an electrical connection, and a method for producing the electrode.
- the catalyst support material is a woven fabric, fleece, sintered metal, foam or felt made of electrically conductive material, an expanded metal plate or a metal plate provided with a plurality of openings, on which the catalyst material contains
- Coating composition is applied, and which is mechanically and electrically conductively connected to a gas-permeable metallic base plate, in particular made of nickel or a nickel / silver alloy or an alkali-resistant metal alloy. If the catalyst support material has sufficient inherent rigidity, the use of a base plate can be dispensed with and the catalyst support material provided with coating material containing catalyst material can be installed directly in an electrochemical reaction apparatus.
- Gas diffusion electrodes are used in different arrangements for electrochemical processes.
- the gas diffusion electrodes as hydrogen consumption anode and oxygen consumption cathode (SVK) are placed directly on the membrane.
- SVK oxygen consumption cathode
- HC1 electrolysis with an oxygen consumable cathode this also lies directly on the membrane.
- Electrode is free with a usual gas pocket height of 15 - 35 cm between caustic soda and oxygen. Since a limited, but still present, height-dependent differential pressure is applied via the SVK, which is relatively elastic, similar to a membrane, it must be supported with spacers against bulging in the direction of the membrane or on the other side in the direction of the gas pocket. Uncontrolled bulging of the SVK in the direction of the membrane causes a reduction in the catholyte gap up to the contact between the SVK and the membrane. This results in a disturbance in the flow of lye, combined with an uneven concentration distribution and possible damage to the membrane. Possibly through the SVK passing oxygen gas bubbles can not withdraw unhindered and collect in places with a greatly reduced
- the effects described result in an increased k-factor, i.e. an excessive increase in the operating voltage depending on the increase in the current density and thus an excessive specific energy consumption.
- the spacer between the electrode and membrane in particular has repeatedly led to problems. Local contact points combined with structural movements in the electrolysis cell occasionally lead to chafing points on the membrane, which can lead to leakage over a long period of operation. Accordingly, the SVK was also burdened with pressure points, which could certainly lead to damage if it were to operate for years. In addition, the spacers shield both electrode and membrane surfaces, which also leads to high current densities and thus to high voltages and high specific energy consumption. A solution was therefore sought to be able to dispense with such spacers.
- the object of the invention is to provide a stable gas diffusion electrode and a method for its production which does not have the disadvantages mentioned.

- the opening-free edge is preferably silver-free. If, however, the gas diffusion electrode is connected to the electrochemical reaction apparatus by means of screws, rivets, clamps or the use of electrically conductive adhesive, the opening-free edge is preferably silver-containing.

- the surface of the catalyst support material is preferably provided with a silver layer, in particular by electrodeposition or electroless plating.
- a gas distributor fabric is applied to the base plate and sintered to the base plate before the catalyst support material is applied.
- a particularly preferred method is characterized in that the catalyst carrier material, gas distributor and base plate are sintered simultaneously.
- the opening division of the two layers should be suitably matched to one another. Adequate drainage of condensate or caustic soda must also be ensured to prevent the gas transport channels from being blinded.
- this structure supplies the catalytically active layer with oxygen through its openings and forms the rigid substructure which makes this gas diffusion electrode dimensionally and deformably stable.

It is particularly advantageous if this part is left open during the stamping of the openings in the form of holes, slots, etc., ie remains massive and lateral escape of the oxygen can thus be prevented. An escape of oxygen from the boundary between the two
- Layers can be avoided by suitably rolling down a narrow, catalyst-filled edge strip of the top layer onto the substructure, which should no longer be slotted here or should otherwise be covered with metal and sealed.
