Another object of the present invention is accordingly a colloidal
Iridiumoxid, das eine Teilchengröße < 10 nm, insbesondere < 3 nm, aufweist.Iridium oxide, which has a particle size <10 nm, in particular <3 nm.
Das kolloidale Iridiumoxid kann erhalten werden, in dem eine wässerige, alkoholische oder wässerig-alkoholische Lösung eines Ir-Salzes unter Rühren auf eine pH-Wert > 11 , vorzugsweise >_12 eingestellt und das erhaltene Gemisch anschließend über einen Zeitraum von 3 bis 72 Stunden bei einer Temperatur von 0 bis 100°C gerührt wird.The colloidal iridium oxide can be obtained by adjusting an aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic solution of an Ir salt with stirring to a pH> 11, preferably> _12 and then adding the resulting mixture over a period of 3 to 72 hours a temperature of 0 to 100 ° C is stirred.
Das erhaltenen Iridiumoxid kann ohne weitere Aufbereitung zur Herstellung von Beschichtungen eingesetzt werden. Eine Reinigung und ggf. Entfernung von unerwünschten löslichen Inhaltsstoffen kann falls erforderlich durch Dialyse erfolgen.The iridium oxide obtained can be used for the production of coatings without further processing. If necessary, any undesirable soluble ingredients can be cleaned and removed by dialysis.
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren, wurde ein Weg gefunden bei dem Iridiumchloride durch basische Hydrolyse in Iridiumoxidkolloide überführt werden. Überraschenderweise konnten die Kolloide als konzentrierte Hydrosole ohne zusätzliche Stabilisatoren hergestellt werden. Die Chloridkonzentration der Lösung kann, falls gewünscht, durch Dialyse stark reduziert werden. Titansubstrate können mit der aufgearbeiteten kolloidalen Lösung benetzt werden. Das Brennen der benetzten Elektroden führt zu geschlossenen lrOx-Filmen. Während des Brennvorgangs werden keine oder nur minimale Mengen an toxischen Gasen frei, da eventuell Chlorid in Form der Salze gebunden ist, bei Einsatz der Alkalihydroxide als Brönsted-Base als Alkalichlorid. BeispieleWith the method according to the invention, a way has been found in which iridium chlorides are converted into iridium oxide colloids by basic hydrolysis. Surprisingly, the colloids could be produced as concentrated hydrosols without additional stabilizers. If desired, the chloride concentration of the solution can be greatly reduced by dialysis. Titanium substrates can be wetted with the processed colloidal solution. The burning of the wetted electrodes leads to closed lrO x films. No or only minimal amounts of toxic gases are released during the firing process, since chloride may be bound in the form of the salts when the alkali metal hydroxides are used as Bronsted base as alkali metal chloride. Examples

A blue-violet solution was created. The solution was dialyzed against deionized water for 24-48 hours.
Beschichtung der TitansubstrateCoating of the titanium substrates
Die vorbehandelten Titanbleche wurden in die dialysierte kolloidale lrOx-Lösung getaucht und 5 min lang bei 80°C getrocknet, bevor sie 5min bei 600°C gebrannt wurden. Dieser Beschichtungsprozess wurde 5mal wiederholt. Der Brennvorgang wurde über 1 Stunde durchgeführt. The pretreated titanium sheets were immersed in the dialyzed colloidal lrO x solution and dried at 80 ° C for 5 minutes before being baked at 600 ° C for 5 minutes. This coating process was repeated 5 times. The burning process was carried out over 1 hour.
