Definitions
- Electrodes useful in a wide variety of electrolytic processes comprise a conductive substrate bearing on at least a portion of the surface. thereof a fourcomponent coating, said components being the oxides of tin, antimony, at least one platinum group metal, and a valve metal selected from the group titanium and tantalum.
- an electrode comprising an electrically conductive supporting substrate bearing on at least a portion of the surface thereof a coating consisting essentially of from L to 10.0 percent antimony oxide, from 30 to 90 percent tin dioxide, from 1.0 to 50 percent of at least one platinum group metal oxide, and from 0.5 to 30 percent of a valve metal oxide selected from the group consisting of titanium and tantalum oxides, with the proviso that the mole ratio of tin to antimony oxides is between 95:5 and 85:15.
- those coatings having high valve metal and platinum metal oxide concentrations are particularly useful as anodes at which oxygen is evolved.
- those coating compositions having low valve metal oxide concentrations and moderate concentrations of platinum metal oxides are particularly useful in chlor-alkali electrolysis.
- the invention lies in a combined coating of oxides of tin, antimony, at least one platinum group metal, and a valve metal selected from the group titanium and tantalum on a conductive substrate, useful as an electrode, especially as-an anode, in a variety of electrochemical processes including electrowinning of metals (e.g., copper, nickel, and zinc) from aqueous solution; chlor-alkali electrolysis including chlorine,
- Suitable substrates include generally any metal of sufficient electrical conductivity and mechanical and chemical resistance to the cell environment in which it is to be employed.
- these materials may include nickel, steel, stainless steel, titanium, niobium, zirconium, and tantalum. Especially preferred for most applications are titanium, niobium, or tantalum substrates.
- those substrates bearing an exterior coating, such as copper or aluminum-cored titanium or a platinum or other conductive metal layer over a titanium substrate are contemplated.
- an etching or other cleaning operation is employed prior to deposition of the coating and in order to provide a base to which the coating may be satisfactorily anchored.
- the configuration of the electrode will vary considerably with the application intended but may generally be in the form of a rod or a sheet, either continuous or foraminous, of the appropriate material.
- tin dioxide preferably present in the form of crystalline SnO and employed within the range of from 30 to 90 percent by weight of the total coating composition on an oxide basis, especially 30 to 50 percent for oxygen applications and 60 to 90 percent for chlorine.
- the antimony oxide component enters into the tin oxide crystal lattice, rendering same more electrically conductive.
- the antimony is present in an indeterminate oxide form owing to its entrance into the tin oxide crystal lattice, it may be expressed for convenience sake as Sb O
- the antimony oxide is present within the range of from 1.0 to 10, preferably 4.0 to l0, percent by weight.
- tin and antimony oxides are further qualified by the proviso that they be present, respectively, in the range, on a mole ratio basis as the oxides, of 95:5 to 85:15, especially 90:10. In this fashion there is obtained the desired doping effect of the antimony on the tin oxide without the presence of an excess separate phase of antimony oxides.
- the third component of the coating is at least one "platinum group metal oxide, by which term it is intended to include the oxides of platinum, palladium, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, and osmium, preferably ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, and palladium, and especially mixtures of ruthenium with iridium, rhodium, or palladium oxides/These platinum group metal oxides are present in their most highly oxidized form and within the range of from 1.0 to 50 percent by weight.
- platinum group metal oxides are present in their most highly oxidized form and within the range of from 1.0 to 50 percent by weight.
- the amounts of valve metal oxides employed are generally within the range of from 0.5 to 30 percent by weight, especially 15 to 25, for
- valve metal oxide acts to extend the life without detrimental effect in the coating, for example, of the electrode coating while the incorporation of small amounts of chloride in the primarily oxide coatlarger amounts adds resistance to passivation.

- the quantity of 10 percent Sb O l .0 to percent platinum metal dithermally decomposable salt set forth in Table l is disoxide, and 0.5 to 3.0 percent titanium or tantalum solved in 45 ml of ethanol with stirring.
- the resultant oxide on a titanium substrate. 25 solution is brushed onto an expanded titanium mesh While many of the variety of methods known for prosubstrate, previously cleaned by etching for minutes ducing mixed metal oxide coatings may be employed, in boiling (l8%) aqueous hydrochloric acid.
- the soluthe preferred method of preparing the multicomponent tion is applied to the mesh by brushing, followed by coating composition of the substrate is by deposition drying the anode for 3 minutes at 1 10 C and firing in from a solution of the appropriate thermochemically 30 air at 500 C and 7 minutes.

- the electrodes are evaluated as anodes in baking in an oxidizing atmosphere, e.g., air, at 450 to 3 a 150 g/l sulfuric acid solution at 3 amperes per square 520 C, espically 500 C, for from 5 to l0, especially inch opposite a titanium mesh cathode and at an elecabout 7, minutes.

- the test is continued until the anany number of times until the desired coating thickness odes have passivated, i.e., a voltage of 8.0 volts or is obtained, for example, 6 to 10 coats. The preferred greater is obtained.
- the lifetime of the anode that is, solvents for the thermally decomposable salts are the the number of hours of successful operation until paslower alkanols, such as ethanol, propanol, amyl alcosivation occurs, is reported in the following Table 1.
- Anodes 4 and 5 may be employed, to which ing to the present invention, are greatly superior to eithere is generally added from 0 to percent by volther an anode combining the valve metal and platinum ume of an acid, such as concentrated hydrochloric acid group metal (anode l) or the platinum metal- (36%).

- Each anode is prepared by applying six coats of the solution by brush, with heating in air between each coat first at 1 C for 3 minutes followed by 7 minutes at 500 C.
- Electrodes are evaluated as anodes in a horizontal mercury cell spaced 0.14 inch above and parallel to a mercury cathode flowing at a rate of 450 ml/minute.
- the electrolyte is a 310 g/l brine solution having a pH within the range of 3-6 and a temperature of about 70 C.
- electrolysis is conducted at 6 amperes per square inch for 500 hours, the loss being determined by weight differential. Results, together with the composition of each anode coating calculated on an oxide basis, appear in Table 2.

- An etched titanium mesh substrate is coated by brushing, drying at 1 10 C for 3 minutes, and baking in air at 500 C for 7 minutes. The coating procedure is repeated until a coating having a platinum group metal content of 1 gram per square foot is obtained. This is labeled Anode l0.
- Anode l l is prepared in an identical fashion but substituting 0.92 g of lrCl and 6.54 g RuCl 'xH O for the ruthenium content of Anode l0.
- Anode 12 is likewise similar with the exception that 1.28 g of RhCl -3H O and 6.65 g RuCl -xH O comprise the platinum group metal content.
- Anodes l0, l1, and 12 When evaluated according to the lifetime test described in Example 1 above, Anodes l0, l1, and 12 have lifetimes, respectively, of 185, 250, and 350 hours. This indicates the substantial improvement possible employing a mixture of platinum metal oxides in the coating.
