ELECTRODE AND METHOD OF ITS PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C25B11/10 C23C28/04 

FIELD: electrochemical processes; production of electrodes used for electrolysis, electrophoresis and electrosynthesis.

SUBSTANCE: proposed electrode is made from titanium or its alloys and is provided with electrocatalytic coat made from ruthenium and titanium oxides at the following ratio, mole-%: 25-30:70-75; it includes intermediate sublayers made from titanium oxide and formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation. Method of production of electrode includes application of electrocatalytic coat made from ruthenium and titanium oxides on base made from titanium or its alloys at ratio, mole-% of 25-30:70-75 by thermal decomposition of ruthenium and titanium salts. Prior to application of electrocatalytic coat, intermediate sublayers made from titanium oxides are applied onto base by plasma electrolytic oxidation.

EFFECT: enhanced electrocatalytic activity with no activation before each switching-on; reduced power requirements.
