Description
This document outlines a type of titanium anode plate specifically designed for hypochlorite generators.


Technical Field
The utility model pertains to titanium anode plates suitable for hypochlorite generators.

Background Technology
Hypochlorite generators can be classified into two main categories: disinfection and environmental protection. Current titanium anodes used in disinfection applications, such as swimming pool sterilization, tableware disinfection, and food safety, are critical for human health. In terms of environmental protection, hypochlorite generators are used primarily for hospital wastewater treatment and various industrial wastewater applications.

The operation of sodium hypochlorite generators relies on diaphragm-free electrolysis, resulting in the formation of hypochlorite through secondary chemical reactions. During this process, sodium chloride is electrolyzed to generate hypochlorite, with optimal salt concentrations ranging from 3% to 5%. Existing titanium anodes, including plate-type and tubular electrodes, do not meet the required performance standards, indicating a need for improvement.

Utility Model Content
The objective of this utility model is to provide a titanium anode plate that suits hypochlorite generators. This plate features an external coating (EC) made of ruthenium, iridium, and titanium oxide on a titanium substrate, which enhances the titanium content and improves the anode's resistance to reduction, thereby allowing for more effective removal of dirt from the cathode in a shorter time.

Technical Solution
The proposed titanium anode plate suitable for hypochlorite generators includes a titanium substrate covered with a coating of ruthenium, iridium, and titanium oxide.


- The coating is applied to the surface of the titanium substrate, forming the external coating (EC).
- The thickness of the external coating (EC) ranges from 20-30 μm.



This design significantly enhances the anode's anti-reduction capabilities, making it suitable for low chlorine ion concentration environments. Additionally, it exhibits higher effective chlorine generation and oxygen evolution potential compared to traditional ruthenium-titanium anodes, thus providing substantial practical advantages.

Titanium Electrodes for Electrolyzed Water
Titanium electrodes are widely used in electrolysis applications due to their excellent properties. These electrodes are made from titanium metal, which is classified as an inert material, meaning it does not chemically react with the electrolyzed substances and remains stable throughout the process.

Titanium is a preferred material for electrodes because of its high resistance to corrosion, superior electrical conductivity, and lightweight yet strong structure. Furthermore, titanium has a high melting point, making it suitable for high-temperature processes.

These electrodes find diverse applications in industries such as chemical production, electroplating, water treatment, and semiconductor manufacturing. They can be produced in various forms, including plates, rods, tubes, and wires, depending on specific operational requirements.





The Electrolysis Process
Electrolysis occurs when an electrolytic solution or molten electrolyte is placed between two electrodes, and a voltage is applied. This causes electrons to flow from one electrode to another, facilitating the breakdown of ions in the electrolyte.

In electrolysis, one electrode acts as the cathode and the other as the anode. Electrons move from the cathode to the electrolyte, reducing metal ions or other substances in the solution. Conversely, electrons flow from the anode, causing oxidation reactions in the electrolyte, which result in the release of gases or other products.

In various electrochemical application fields such as the chlor-alkali industry, electroplating wastewater treatment, seawater electrolysis for chlorine production, and hydrogen-rich water preparation, the anode serves as a core consumable, and its performance directly determines system efficiency, energy consumption, and operational costs. Traditional anode materials like graphite and lead alloys face common issues such as high oxygen/chlorine evolution potential, low current efficiency, poor mechanical strength, and susceptibility to corrosion, leading to frequent electrode replacements and elevated production costs. This article will delve into the new generation of electrode technology represented by mixed metal oxide (MMO) coated titanium anodes, exploring how technological innovations provide long-lasting, stable, and efficient solutions for the industry.



I. Industry Pain Points: The Dilemma of "Short Life" and "Low Efficiency" in Traditional Anodes
In harsh electrochemical environments, electrode failure often stems from several core pain points:



Short lifespan and frequent replacements: Especially in strong acid, strong alkali, or chloride ion environments, traditional anodes suffer from rapid corrosion rates, coating delamination, and substrate dissolution, resulting in frequent equipment downtime and high maintenance costs.



Low current efficiency and high energy consumption: Insufficient catalytic activity of the electrodes leads to high overpotentials for target reactions (such as chlorine and oxygen evolution), resulting in substantial energy loss as heat, directly increasing production costs.



Weak customization capabilities: Many emerging applications (like specific-shaped hydrogen-rich water cup anodes or integrated hydrogen water modules) or unique processes (such as high current density electrolysis) have specific requirements for electrode size, shape, and coating formulation, which traditional suppliers struggle to provide flexible OEM/ODM support.



Poor performance consistency: Small batches or non-standard orders often suffer from significant performance variability between batches due to unstable manufacturing processes, affecting the stability of end product quality.



II. Technological Breakthrough: How MMO Coated Titanium Anodes Achieve Performance Leap
The success of MMO coated titanium anodes is rooted in the "strong synergy" of their material and structural design. Their core consists of a titanium substrate and a surface catalyst-active precious metal oxide coating (such as ruthenium-iridium or iridium-tantalum systems).



Reinforcement of the titanium substrate: Titanium metal possesses excellent mechanical strength, lightweight characteristics, and outstanding corrosion resistance provided by the dense oxide film formed on its surface, offering a stable and robust "skeleton" for the coating. Advanced pretreatment processes like sandblasting and acid-etching can significantly increase the substrate surface area, enhancing coating adhesion.



Catalytic secrets of the MMO coating: By using thermal decomposition and other processes, salts of precious metals like ruthenium, iridium, and platinum are uniformly coated and sintered onto the titanium substrate, forming a metal oxide solid solution coating with perovskite or rutile crystal structure. This coating offers:


High electrocatalytic activity: Significantly reduces the overpotential for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) or chlorine evolution reactions (CER), allowing current efficiency to exceed 85%, effectively saving energy.
Excellent conductivity: The metal oxide itself has good conductivity, ensuring uniform current distribution.
Exceptional stability: In the coating, active components form stable solid solutions with stable components (such as TiO₂, Ta₂O₅), effectively resisting dissolution and oxidation of active components, maintaining stability across a wide pH range (2-12), and achieving lifespans 3-5 times longer than traditional anodes.



III. Solutions: From Standardization to In-Depth Customized Technical Service System
To address these pain points, advanced manufacturers like HOMIXE Titanium not only offer high-performance products but also establish a complete solution system encompassing materials to services.

HOMIXE Titanium employs X-ray diffraction equipment (XRF) to analyze coating composition and structure, guaranteeing performance consistency from the source.



Meeting customization needs: A strong OEM/ODM capability is crucial. Whether designing miniaturized water catalyst anodes for household hydrogen water cups or customizing titanium electrolytic cells with special flow channel structures for large environmental projects, or developing integrated hydrogen generator modules for hydrogen energy devices, professional manufacturers can provide comprehensive support from design and prototyping to mass production based on customer drawings or collaborative R&D needs.



Solving supply chain dispersion issues: Providing one-stop solutions, from core MMO electrodes and platinum-titanium anodes to standard parts and derivatives like titanium baskets, titanium meshes, and titanium screws, as well as complete sodium hypochlorite generator equipment, streamlining procurement processes for customers while ensuring system compatibility and overall optimal performance.



IV. Application Case Studies: Multidimensional Value of Technological Implementation
