Abstract

The invention provides a metal anode for an aqueous solution electrolysis system. The metal anode is characterized in that a porous metal material is adopted to serve as a matrix, and the surface of the porous metal material is loaded with a highly active catalyst. The porous metal material has a large specific surface area and is advantageous for increasing electrode active area, reducing current density and loading the catalyst. The porous metal material can be prepared by adopting a powder metallurgic method. The metal anode provided by the invention can be used for the aqueous solution electrolysis system, particularly a membrane electrolytic sodium carbonate solution system, and can be used for decreasing e oxygen evolution over potential to reduce power consumption.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of aqueous solution electrolysis, and relates to an oxygen evolution electrode, in particular a porous metal electrode, which uses its high specific surface area to reduce the oxygen evolution potential. Background technique [0002] The theoretical electrolysis voltage for electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen and oxygen is 1.23V, but in fact, due to the overpotential, electrolyte resistance and other resistance factors in the reaction process of oxygen and hydrogen formation, the actual required voltage is higher than the theoretical value. Between 1.65-2.4V. The existence of overpotential increases the energy consumption of electrolyzed water. According to Faraday's law, the preparation of 1m 3 (Standard) hydrogen, the theoretical power consumption is 2.87kWh, but the actual power consumption is twice the theoretical power consumption. Therefore, we should try to reduce the electrode overpotential to reduce the...
