| Summary: | The effect of the addition of ethanol and 2-propanol to the dispersing phase
of TiO2 and RuO2 sols mixture on the morphology and, consequently, on the
electrochemical properties of the sol-gel obtained activated titanium anodes
was investigated. The properties of the obtained anodes were compared to
those obtained by the thermal decomposition of appropriate chloride salts.
The morphology of the anode coatings was examined by scanning tunneling
microscopy. The electrochemical behaviour was investigated by cyclic
voltammetry and by polarization measurements. An accelerated stability test
was used for the examination of the stability of the anodes under
simultaneous oxygen and chlorine evolution reaction. A dependence of the
anode stability on the type of added alcohol is indicated. |
