The Kinetics of Chlorine Evolution and Reduction on Titanium-Supported Metal Oxides Especially RuO[sub 2] and IrO[sub 2]
Year: 1973
Type: article
Abstract: Current‐voltage curves were determined on precious metal oxide‐coated titanium electrodes under conditions relevant to the chlor‐alkali industry. Electrodes in which the oxide coating was of a base metal or only partly of a precious metal were also studied. Clear electrocatalytic effects were found, though in general, linear Tafel behavior was not observed. A possible explanation for the lack of linear Tafel plots in terms of a semiconducting oxide coating was suggested.
