Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrode for electrolysis, a method for producing the electrode, and an electrolyzer.
- Hydrogen is attracting attention as an energy source for the next generation in place of fossil fuels as global warming becomes more serious due to the effects of carbon dioxide due to the massive consumption of fossil fuels. Since hydrogen discharges only water after use, it is considered to be a clean energy source with low environmental impact.

- An electrode for electrolysis provided with a film as an intermediate layer is disclosed.
- platinum group materials such as platinum, ruthenium oxide and iridium oxide have been used as the electrode catalyst layer as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and the like.
- Iridium and ruthenium oxides are used as oxygen generating electrodes because they have higher electron conductivity and lower resistance than other metal oxides.
- platinum is expensive, and iridium and ruthenium have a global annual production of around 10 tons, which is problematic in terms of material costs and available resources. For this reason, it is necessary to develop a new oxygen electrode having corrosion resistance and low overvoltage while using a material having abundant resources.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an oxygen-generating electrode that is made of a platinum group free, has excellent corrosion resistance, and has a low overvoltage.
- the present invention relates to an electrode for electrolysis that electrolyzes an electrolytic solution to generate hydrogen, a conductive base material, a base metal oxide formed on the surface of the base material, and a surface of the base metal oxide. And a noble metal supported, wherein the noble metal is at least one selected from Au, Ag, and oxides thereof.
- FIG. 1 is an example of a schematic diagram of a cell 101 of an electrolysis apparatus to which an electrode for electrolysis of the present invention is applied.
- the cell 101 includes a hydrogen generation electrode 102, an oxygen generation electrode 103, a partition wall 104, an electrolytic cell 105, and an electrolytic solution 106.
- the oxygen generation electrode 103 and the hydrogen generation electrode 102 are disposed to face each other with the partition wall 104 interposed therebetween. These are inserted into the electrolytic bath 105, and the electrolytic solution 106 is injected for use.
- the oxygen generation electrode 103 and the hydrogen generation electrode 102 are connected to a load 108, and electrolysis is performed by applying a voltage between the electrodes.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of an oxygen generating electrode applied to the electrolysis apparatus of the present invention.
- the oxygen generation electrode 201 is composed of a conductive base material 204, a base metal oxide 203 formed on the surface thereof, and a noble metal 202 selected from gold, silver supported by the base metal oxide 203, or oxides thereof.
- the term “support” refers to a state in which the noble metal 202 is chemically or physically adsorbed with a part of the surface of the base metal oxide 203 serving as a support being exposed.

It was not possible to demonstrate sufficient performance as a pole.
- Gold, silver and their oxides have low resistance and are widely used as electrode materials. However, since the overvoltage required for the progress of the oxygen generation reaction is high, the performance as the oxygen generation electrode is poor. In particular, gold is considered to be the cause of high overvoltage because of its low surface reactivity and inertness to oxygen generation reaction.
- the base metal oxide and the noble metal used for the oxygen generating electrode of the present invention cannot each have sufficient characteristics as an oxygen generating electrode.
- the present inventors have found that excellent characteristics can be obtained as an oxygen generating electrode. That is, the electrode of the present invention has a configuration in which a noble metal is supported on the surface of a base metal oxide. Since noble metals are difficult to oxidize and are resistant to corrosion, they have conductivity even at potentials where oxygen generation reaction proceeds. Thereby, the reaction resistance of a base metal oxide can be reduced by using a noble metal as an electron passage path.
- the catalytic activity tends to increase at the interface between the metal oxide and the noble metal. This is presumably because water is likely to be adsorbed on the surface of the noble metal having a strong adsorptive power, and an effect of improving the rate of the electrolytic reaction is expected.

- the noble metal and the base metal oxide have a longer interface.
- the noble metal is desirably in the form of fine particles.
- the area occupied by the noble metal and the area occupied by the base metal oxide on the electrode surface is ideally 1: 1, but considering the difficulty of production, the surface area of the noble metal is the surface area of the base metal oxide support. On the other hand, it may be about 30 to 70%, and more preferably in the range of 40 to 60%.

- the method for producing the oxygen generating electrode of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the above configuration can be produced. However, in view of the simplicity of production and cost, it is preferable to use a dry method in which coating and baking are repeated, or a wet method using electrolytic deposition.

Since the hydrogen generation electrode performs the hydrogen generation reaction with lower power, it is preferable to use a platinum group such as Pt, Rh, Ir or the like having a smaller hydrogen overvoltage. Since the platinum group is expensive, Ni, Fe, etc., which are cheaper, may be used, or may be alloyed with the platinum group.
