Description
Elektrode. Die immer wachsende Entwicklung der technischen Elektrochemie macht die Be nützung von Platinelektroden zu Kathoden und Anoden in der Elektrolyse und Katapho- rese zu einem immer dringenderen Bedürf nis. Es ist dabei mannigfach versucht wor den, das teure Platin durch andere Metalle zu ersetzen, oder aber andere Metalle mit einer dünnen Platinschicht zu überziehen.
Erstere Möglichkeit wird dadurch ver eitelt, dass, obgleich es ausser dem Platin auch noch andere unangreifbare Metalle gibt, dieselben die elektrolytisch abgeschiedenen Gase mit einer veränderten Überspannung entwickeln, was für den chemischen Gang der Elektrolyse von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist. Die zweite Möglichkeit ist aus folgen dem Grunde aussichtslos: Da Platin die bei der Elektrolyse in Betracht kommenden Gase löst, wird das entwickelte Gas, besonders der Sauerstoff, durch den Platinüberzug diffundierend ap das unedle Metall gelangen, dieses angreifen oder zum mindesten eine Oxydschicht bilden, wodurch eine Loslösung des Platinüberzuges bedingt wird.
Gegenstand vorliegender Erfindung ist nun eine Elektrode, welche sich dadurch vorteilhaft auszeichnet, dass eine dünne Metallschicht auf einem Träger aus chemisch widerstandsfähigem Material derart innig und festhaftend- aufgebracht ist, dass auch bei Diffundieren eines chemischen Agens durch ,die Metallschicht ein Ablösen der selben durch Angriff des Trägers hintan gehalten wird. Für die Metallschicht eignet sich am besten Platin, das in Folien von bis 0,0001 mm Dicke auf einen Träger aus Glas durch Erhitzen desselben auf Schmelz temperatur aufgeschmolzen werden kann; das Platin kann aber auch aus Platinverbin dungen bei entsprechenden Temperaturen auf dem Wege der Reduktion auf dem Träger abgeschieden oder in dünner Schicht auf dem Träger eingebrannt sein.
In den mei sten Fällen reicht die Leitfähigkeit einer Platinfolie für die benötigten Stromdichten aus, ansonst vom Innern der Elektrode aus in gewissen Abständen von der Stromzufüh rung dünne Speiseleitungen abgezweigt wer den können, welche die Stromzufuhr zu. der dünnen Platinschicht besorgen.
Der Träger für die Platinschicht kann als Rohr, als Stab oder als Lamelle aus gebildet sein, was jeweils von den Bedürf- nissen in bezug auf Festigkeit, Oberflächen grösse usw. abhängt.
Versuche haben gezeigt, dass eine so ge fertigte Platinelektrode bei beliebiger Dauer belastung jedes das metallische Platin nicht angreifende Gas aushält, ohne dass auch bei längster Belastung eine Loslösung .der Pla tinschicht stattfände. Bei gleicher Leistung in qualitativer Beziehung (gleicher Über spannung wie reines Platin) und in quan titativer Hinsicht (gleiche wirksame Ober fläche) ist der Preis einer solchen Elektrode mehr als um ein Hundertfaches geringer als eine gleichwertige Ganzplatinelektrode.
Statt Platin lässt sich irgend ein anderes Metall der Edelmetallgruppe (Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Osmium oder Iridium) verwenden. Auch der Träger kann, statt aus Glas, aus gebrannter Magnesia, Porzellan, Quarz, Harborundum, Ton usw. bestehen.
Electrode. The ever growing development of technical electrochemistry makes the use of platinum electrodes for cathodes and anodes in electrolysis and cataphoresis an ever more urgent need. There have been many attempts to replace the expensive platinum with other metals, or to coat other metals with a thin layer of platinum.
The former possibility is thwarted by the fact that, although there are other unassailable metals besides platinum, they develop the electrodeposited gases with a changed overvoltage, which is of essential importance for the chemical course of electrolysis. The second possibility is futile for the following reasons: Since platinum dissolves the gases that come into consideration in electrolysis, the gas developed, especially oxygen, will diffuse through the platinum coating and will attack the base metal, attack it or at least form an oxide layer, whereby a detachment of the platinum coating is caused.
The subject matter of the present invention is an electrode which is advantageously characterized in that a thin metal layer is applied to a carrier made of chemically resistant material so intimately and firmly that even when a chemical agent diffuses through, the metal layer is detached by attack of the carrier is held back. For the metal layer, platinum is best suited, which can be melted in foils up to 0.0001 mm thick on a support made of glass by heating it to melting temperature; however, the platinum can also be deposited on the carrier from platinum compounds at appropriate temperatures by way of reduction or burned in in a thin layer on the carrier.
In most cases, the conductivity of a platinum foil is sufficient for the required current densities, otherwise thin feed lines can be branched off from the inside of the electrode at certain intervals from the power supply to who the power supply. the thin platinum layer.
The support for the platinum layer can be designed as a tube, a rod or a lamella, which in each case depends on the requirements in terms of strength, surface area, etc.
Tests have shown that a platinum electrode manufactured in this way can withstand any gas that does not attack the metallic platinum under any continuous load, without the platinum layer becoming detached even under the longest load. With the same performance in qualitative terms (same overvoltage as pure platinum) and in quantitative terms (same effective surface), the price of such an electrode is more than a hundred times less than an equivalent all-platinum electrode.
Instead of platinum, any other metal from the noble metal group (ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium or iridium) can be used. The carrier can also consist of burnt magnesia, porcelain, quartz, harborundum, clay, etc. instead of glass.
